Explore the concept of Kubernetes operators and their implementation through Helm charts in this 20-minute conference talk from CNCF. Dive into the operator pattern, compare operators with controllers, and examine specific examples like SG Operator and S3 Operator. Analyze tradeoffs, testing strategies, and complexity considerations when developing operators. Gain insights into different abstraction layers, the importance of shallow modules, and potential pitfalls to avoid when designing operator solutions.
