Locate the TimesTen Operator

The TimesTen Operator is configured in your Kubernetes cluster using a Deployment. Kubernetes automatically monitors the TimesTen Operator and restarts it if it fails. The TimesTen Operator runs in a Pod and the name of the Operator begins with timesten-operator, followed by arbitrary characters to make the name unique. If you specify multiple replicas when you deploy the Operator, there are multiple Pods. Only one Pod is active at a time. The remainder of the Pods wait for the active to fail, and if it does, then one of the Pods becomes active. TimesTenClassic objects continue to function if the Operator fails. When a new Operator is started by Kubernetes, the Operator automatically monitors and manages existing TimesTenClassic objects.

To display the Pods that are running the TimesTen Operator, use the kubectl get pods command. In the following example, there is one Pod that is running the TimesTen Operator. For more information about the TimesTen Operator, see About the TimesTen Operator.
