OLM Integration Package Manifests Quickstart

Important: this guide assumes your project was scaffolded with operator-sdk init --project-version=3-alpha. These features are unavailable to projects of version 2 or less; this information can be found by inspecting your file’s version value.

We will now create a package manifests format by running make packagemanifests in the root of the memcached-operator project:

Deploying an Operator with OLM

At this point in development we’ve generated all files necessary to build a memcached-operator registry. Now we’re ready to test the Operator with OLM.

will create an Operator registry from manifests and metadata in the memcached-operator project, and inform OLM that memcached-operator v0.0.1 is ready to be deployed. This process effectively replicates production deployment in a constrained manner to make sure OLM can deploy our Operator successfully before attempting real production deployment.

Now that we’re done testing the memcached-operator, we should probably clean up the Operator’s resources. will do this for you:
