IBM Cloud Operator

The IBM Cloud Operator provides a Kubernetes CRD-Based API to manage the lifecycle of IBM public cloud services. This operator allows to provision and bind any of the 130+ IBM public cloud services from your Kubernetes cluster, using Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for Services and Bindings.

Supported Features

• Supports both RC-enabled and legacy services - You can provision any service in the IBM Cloud catalog.

• Bindings Managment - Automatically creates secrets with the credentials required to bind to any provisioned service.

• Bind Only Mode - You do not need to provision a service to bind to it. You can bind to existing services.
