Instana Operator

Instana Operator is the Kubernetes Operator for managing the Instana backend on Red Hat OpenShift or Kubernetes. It automates the deployment of Instana backend components and manages database migrations.

You can run the Instana Operator on a Red Hat OpenShift cluster or Kubernetes cluster. The Operator is a controller that runs on the cluster. It uses a set of custom resources that describe the Instana setup in a declarative manner.

The Operator watches for changes on the resources and reconciles the changes as necessary.

To install the Instana Operator, you can use the kubectl plug-in. For more information, see Installing the Instana kubectl plug-in and Installing the Instana Operator.
