The Keycloak team announced that they were going to move to a new Operator framework that will effictevely manage Keycloak installatons on a Kubernetes cluster. So what is an Operator in the Kubernetes context. Simplyfying it a bit here… Its basically a component that takes over the operational aspects of your application. So rather then managing all of the lifecycle and state in scripts and in our minds in someways is coded into an operator. For us Keycloak Operator does exactly that and in this blog I will cover how to setup a very simple Keycloak installation and get ready for development. If you are interested in knowing more about Operators you will likely find some good info here.
