About Kubernetes Operators

Kubernetes Operators monitor a Kubernetes cluster for the creation of objects of specified types. When you create an object of a supported type, a Kubernetes Operator takes action to implement the object. Kubernetes Operators can be namespace-scoped or cluster-scoped. Namespace-scoped Operators monitor a Kubernetes cluster looking for supported objects in the namespace in which the Operator is running whereas cluster-scoped Operators monitor a Kubernetes cluster looking for supported objects in any namespace in the cluster.

TimesTen provides a customized Kubernetes Operator called the TimesTen Kubernetes Operator.
