Charmcraft supports Kubernetes operator development and collaboration

Charmcraft enables collaboration between operator developers, and publication on Charmhub.io, home of the Open Operator Collection.

Use charmcraft to:

  • Init a new charm file structure
  • Build your Kubernetes operator charm package
  • Register your charm name on Charmhub
  • Upload your charm to Charmhub
  • Release your charm into channels

You can use charmcraft with operators written in any language but we recommend the Python Operator Framework from https://pypi.org/project/ops/ developed at https://github.com/canonical/operator for ease of development and collaboration.

Charmcraft and the Python Operator Framework extend the operator pattern beyond Kubernetes with universal operators that drive Linux apps. The universal operator pattern is very exciting for multi-cloud application management.
