Controller 101

This repository implements a simple controller for watching VM resources as defined with a CRD.

This example will show you how to perform basic operations such as:

• How to create a custom resource of type VM using CRD API.
• How to operate instances of type VM.
• How to implement a controller for handling an instance of type VM to move the current state towards the desired state.
• How to use Finalizer on instances of type VM.
• How to implement LeaseLock for multiple controllers.
• How to expose metrics of the controller.

$ minikube start --kubernetes-version=v1.15.4
$ minikube docker-env
$ kubectl -n kube-system create secret generic docker-certs \
  --from-file=$HOME/.minikube/certs/ca.pem \
  --from-file=$HOME/.minikube/certs/cert.pem \
  --from-file=$HOME/.minikube/certs/key.pem
