karmada-operator

The Karmada operator is a method for installing, upgrading, and deleting Karmada instances. It builds upon the basic Karmada resource and controller concepts and provides convenience to centrally manage the entire lifecycle of Karmada instances in a global cluster. With the operator, you can extend Karmada with custom resources (CRs) to manage your instances not only in local clusters but also in remote clusters.

This page provides instructions on how to install, upgrade, and uninstall Karmada-operator.

• helm v3+
