What is ob-operator?

OceanBase K8s Operator (ob-operator) is a tool built on the Kubernetes Operator framework for managing OceanBase clusters in Kubernetes. It provides a simple and reliable method for containerized deployment of OceanBase clusters, simplifying the O&M of OceanBase clusters. ob-operator defines various resources for OceanBase Database and implements the corresponding coordination logic. It enables you to manage OceanBase Database in a declarative manner, similar to managing native Kubernetes resources.

Features

ob-operator provides the following features:

• OceanBase cluster management

  You can manage OceanBase clusters by creating or modifying the custom resource definition (CRD) obparameters.oceanbase.oceanbase.com. Cluster management operations include creating, initializing, and scaling out clusters, and modifying cluster parameters.

• OceanBase tenant management

  You can manage the tenants in an OceanBase cluster by creating or modifying the CRD obtenants.oceanbase.oceanbase.com. Tenant management operations include creating tenants, adjusting the distribution of replicas, managing the primary and standby physical servers, and managing tenant backups.

• OceanBase high availability

  ob-operator provides the automatic fault recovery feature, which can automatically recover a cluster when the cluster fails and the majority of replicas are still available, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the cluster.

Version

The current version of ob-operator is V2.1.0.
