Abstract | OpenShift Operators offer a paradigm-shifting approach to automating the entire lifecycle management of complex, stateful applications in Kubernetes-based environments. By encoding domain-specific knowledge into declarative controllers, Operators simplify installation, configuration, upgrades, scaling, and recovery tasks—processes that traditionally require significant human intervention. This white paper provides an in-depth examination of Operators within Red Hat OpenShift, surveying recent research from reputable journals, conferences, and academic institutions to illustrate how Operators have revolutionized orchestration for modern cloud-native workloads. Specifically, the paper (1) contextualizes the emergence of Operators as an evolutionary step beyond simple Kubernetes controllers, (2) analyzes architectures and design patterns that streamline application lifecycle management, and (3) proposes a structured methodology for implementing and optimizing Operators in production. Through an analysis of the relevant literature and industry based case studies, this white paper demonstrates that OpenShift Operators can significantly reduce operational complexity, improve scalability, and enhance reliability. The paper concludes by identifying gaps in current practices and suggesting future research directions, particularly around Operator maturity models and advanced multi-cluster scenarios. |
