Operational integrations: The Atlas Kubernetes Operator

When discussing operational integrations, a standout feature is the Atlas Kubernetes Operator. The Atlas Kubernetes Operator, built using CNCF's Operator Framework, is open source. It integrates with Operator Lifecycle Manager and Service Catalog, and supports certified Kubernetes distributions.

What is the Atlas Kubernetes Operator?

In MongoDB, the Atlas Kubernetes Operator is a service that integrates Atlas resources with Kubernetes clusters. This allows you to deploy and manage the lifecycle of cloud-native applications that require data services in a single control plane with secure enterprise platform integration.

The MongoDB Atlas Kubernetes Operator uses custom resource definitions (CRDs) to manage the Atlas configuration. CRDs are extensions of the Kubernetes API that allow the creation and configuration of custom resources as instances of the CRD.

These custom resources represent various MongoDB Atlas...
