The rest of this document is dedicated to technical and operational information for the controller.

### Operating modes - classic or operator
### Operating modes - "controller" or operator

There are two modes available for faas-netes, the classic mode is the default.
There are two modes available for faas-netes, the operator mode is supported for production. The controller mode is legacy and will be removed in a future release. We are unable to support new customers who use the controller mode, and it may not have feature parity with the operator mode.

* Classic mode (aka faas-netes) - includes a REST API, multiple-namespace support but no Function CRD - available in Community Edition and OpenFaaS Standard/Enteprise
* Operator mode (aka "The OpenFaaS Operator") - includes a REST API, with a "Function" CRD and multiple-namespace [OpenFaaS Standard/Enterprise](https://openfaas.com/pricing/)
The controller mode is the only option for OpenFaaS Community Edition (CE).

The single faas-netes image and binary contains both modes, switch between one or the other using the helm chart or the flag `-operator=true/false`.

### Configuration of the controller
### Configuration of this component
