Fusion Data Foundation operator

The odf-operator can be described as a "meta" operator for Fusion Data Foundation, that is, an operator meant to influence other operators.

The odf-operator has the following primary functions:

• Enforces the configuration and versioning of the other operators that comprise Fusion Data Foundation. It does this by using two primary mechanisms: operator dependencies and Subscription management.

  • The odf-operator bundle specifies dependencies on other OLM operators to make sure they are always installed at specific versions.

  • The operator itself manages the Subscriptions for all other operators to make sure the desired versions of those operators are available for installation by the OLM.

• Provides the Fusion Data Foundation external plugin for the OpenShift Console.

• Provides an API to integrate storage solutions with the OpenShift Console.
