#### 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.
