About this deal

Fortunately, most of us can avoid these people. Change the channel. Read better magazines. Watch better movies. Drink at finer bars. Don’t drink at all. God help you if you live in a college town. Despite the prominence of the drunken frat boy in our popular imagination, it’s quite easy to keep such monsters at bay from one’s own social orbit. Each of these pillars provides distinct functions that aid in the development of Operators. Together, they comprise the foundation of the Operator Framework. Utilization of these pillars is the key distinguishing factor between an Operator and a normal Kubernetes controller. To summarize, while every Operator is essentially a controller, not every controller is an Operator. Applying Operator capabilities The lifecycle of an Operator begins with development. To help with this, the Operator SDK exists to guide developers in the first steps of creating an Operator. Technically, an Operator does not have to be written with the Operator SDK, but the Operator SDK provides development patterns to significantly reduce the effort needed to bootstrap and maintain an Operator's source code.

OLM is primarily used for the installation and upgrade of Operators—this includes fetching and installing any dependencies for those Operators. Users interact with OLM via commands provided by the Operator SDK binary, the Kubernetes command-line tool ( kubectl), and declarative YAML. As I was growing into adolescence, my dad and I developed an unusual father–son relationship, becoming more like best friends. It began when my mom moved us from up on the “hill”—where all my neighborhood buddies lived—to a place downtown, not far from the Berkeley Pit, where I didn’t know anybody. I was looking for something to replace all those ninja hijinks with my friends when I saw a video—Michael Jordan’s first, Come Fly with Me. I was instantly captivated. It begins with Jordan all alone, shooting baskets in a completely empty gym. His voice-over says, “I could never stop working on it. Each day I feel I have to improve.” And then of course there are endless scenes of Air Jordan, defying gravity, cutting through defenders as if they’re no more substantial than the atmosphere itself. The American male, as a species, is in crisis. At least in the realm of public life, the norms for masculine behavior in our society have deteriorated to such an extent that American men are now expected to act like frat boys for the rest of their lives. You just wouldn’t be manly if you acted any other way. This is the message we get from our popular publications, television and movies. The wild bachelor party where a prostitute is accidentally (or purposefully) killed and her body must be hidden in the desert has become a comfortable trope of too many popular narratives. Maxim and Esquire, even Men’s Journal, to say nothing of more overtly pornographic men’s magazines like Playboy and Penthouse have added a sheen of respectability to juvenile behavior. They provide guides for how to dress for success and debauchery, rules for the etiquette of manliness, liquor and leather ads and a nice war story or two thrown in for political relevance. Alcohol and women, tobacco and (depending on geography) firearms are not so much to be savored as part of a full life, but instead are the gadgets and gizmos of manhood to be consumed with abandon, in public, on camera. ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 28, 1996, I arrived at the Butte military enlistment processing center to officially join up. There was a Problem.

Level I—Basic Install: This level represents the most basic of Operator capabilities. At Level I, an Operator is only capable of installing its Operand in the cluster and conveying the status of the workload to cluster administrators. This means that it can set up the basic resources required for an application and report when those resources are ready to be used by the cluster. For some reason the Navy had booked me a hotel room near the processing center. They were going to drive me to the airport the next day. Possibly, they wanted to keep an eye on me, make sure I wasn’t going to get cold feet. It was the first time I’d ever been in a hotel room by myself. I was sitting alone in this tiny, bleak little room, my duffel bag tossed across the bed, thinking, Why would I stay here my last night in town when I could just go down to my mom’s house?

Upgrades are a critical part of any application. As bug fixes are implemented and more features are added, being able to smoothly transition between versions helps ensure application uptime. An Operator that handles its own upgrades can either upgrade its Operand when it upgrades itself or manually upgrade its Operand by modifying the Operator's Custom Resource. Our simple web application Operator could provide insights about the performance of the Operand. Requests to the app would provide information about the current and historic load on the cluster. Additionally, since the Operator can identify failed states at this point, it could trigger an alert when the application is unhealthy. Many alerts would indicate a reliability issue that would gain the attention of an administrator. Now, to the subtitle of the book: did O'Neill really fire the shots that killed Osama bin Laden? In some sense, it doesn't matter. Nobody disputes that SOMEONE on SEAL Team 6 (which, ridiculously, is beeped out in the audiobook every time O'Neill references SEAL Team 6 - as if people haven't heard of it) shot bin Laden on that raid in May 2011. But was it O'Neill? Some sources, including a book by, you guessed it, another Navy SEAL, Matt Bissonnette going by the pseudonym of Mark Owen, dispute that O'Neill killed bin Laden, although it seems certain that O'Neill at least fired a few shots into bin Laden's body and/or head posthumously, if not while he was alive. In fact, an article from The Intercept (do a google search) insists that it was a third SEAL, who O'Neill only refers to repeatedly as "the point man" was the one who shot and killed bin Laden. The fact that O'Neill never mentions this SEAL's name - even though he names almost everybody else - and uses the moniker "the point man" dozens of times, lends credence to the idea that it was NOT O'Neill but this unnamed SEAL, who, unlike many of his fellow SEALs, must not hunger for publicity, who actually killed bin Laden. Level V—Auto Pilot: Level V is the most sophisticated level for Operators. It includes Operators that offer the highest capabilities, in addition to the features in all four previous levels. This level is called Auto Pilot because the features that define it focus on being able to run almost entirely autonomously. These capabilities include Auto Scaling, Auto-Healing, Auto-Tuning, and Abnormality Detection.

It was a bit surreal for me. He looked the same as he had just a moment ago when he was alive: pretty colors and noble antlers. But he was dead, and I’d killed him. I felt a tug of remorse. He was a beautiful animal, gone now thanks to me. But I was also proud. This was Montana. Deer were for shooting. Everybody did it. Now I was part of the club. These objects include Pods, Replicas, Deployments, Services, Volumes, and more. The orchestration of any microservice-based cloud application on Kubernetes relies on integrating these different concepts to weave a coherent whole. This orchestration is what creates a complexity that many application developers struggle to manage. Demonstrating on a sample application Any Operator that implements one or more of these features can be considered to be at least a Level III Operator. The simple web application Operator could take advantage of a few of these, such as DR and scaling. As the user base grows and resources demands increase, an administrator could instruct the Operator to scale the application with additional replica Pods to handle the increased load. When developing an Operator from scratch, there are three choices for development methods: Go, Ansible, or Helm. However, using Ansible or Helm alone will ultimately limit the Operator's capabilities to the most basic levels of functionality. My mom and dad maintained a cooperative, cordial relationship throughout my childhood. If they had any big problems with each other, they never let my siblings or me see it. The split living was actually good for my parents. My mom worked at the junior high, which was next to the high school so she could get us to school and home. She loved being a mom, but she got every other weekend off to go out on the town with her crazy, fun, and hot friends Lynn and Sue. I remember them sitting at my mom’s kitchen table, sipping daiquiris and talking about what went down on Saturday night. It was too much for my tender junior high ears. I was in the next room and I had to low crawl my ass out the front door because I couldn’t take it. My first mission.
