Container Storage operator

The ocs-operator can be described as a "meta" operator for Fusion Data Foundation, that is, an operator meant to influence other operators and serves as a configuration gateway for the features provided by the other operators. It does not directly manage the other operators.

The ocs-operator has the following primary functions:

  • Creates Custom Resources (CRs) that trigger the other operators to reconcile against them.
  • Abstracts the Ceph and Multicloud Object Gateway configurations and limits them to known best practices that are validated and supported by Red Hat.
  • Creates and reconciles the resources required to deploy containerized Ceph and NooBaa according to the support policies.
