#### Juju - a model-driven operator lifecycle manager for K8s and machines

A model-driven **universal operator lifecycle manager** for multi cloud and hybrid cloud application management on K8s and machines.

**What is an operator lifecycle manager?**
Kubernetes operators are containers with operations code, that drive your applications on K8s. Juju is an operator lifecycle manager that manages the installation, integration and configuration of operators on the cluster. Juju also extends the idea of operators to traditional application management on Linux and Windows servers, or cloud instances.

**Model-driven operations and integration**
Organise your operators into models, which group together applications that can be tightly integrated on the same substrate and operated by the same team. Capture resource allocation, storage, networking and integration information in the model to simplify ongoing operations.

**Better day-2 operations**
Each operator code package, called a charm, declares methods for actions like back, restore, or security audit. Calling these methods provides remote administration of the application with no low-level access required.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install juju

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
