About using Operators with a MicroShift node

You can use Operators to manage applications and their resources, such as deploying a database or message bus.

Operators offer a more localized configuration experience and integrate with Kubernetes APIs and CLI tools such as kubectl and oc. You can design or use Operators that are specifically for your applications. By using Operators, you can configure components instead of modifying a global configuration file.

MicroShift applications are generally expected to be deployed in static environments. However, Operators are available if helpful in your use case. To discover whether an Operator is compatible with MicroShift, check the Operator documentation.
