Kubernetes controller-runtime Project

The Kubernetes controller-runtime Project is a set of go libraries for building Controllers. It is leveraged by Kubebuilder and Operator SDK. Both are a great place to start for new projects. See Kubebuilder's Quick Start to see how it can be used.

Documentation:

• Package overview
• Basic controller using builder
• Creating a manager
• Creating a controller
• Examples
• Designs

Versioning, Maintenance, and Compatibility

The full documentation can be found at VERSIONING.md, but TL;DR:

Users:

• We follow Semantic Versioning (semver)
• Use releases with your dependency management to ensure that you get compatible code
• The main branch contains all the latest code, some of which may break compatibility (so "normal" go get is not recommended)

Contributors:

• All code PR must be labeled with :bug: (patch fixes), :sparkles: (backwards-compatible features), or :warning: (breaking changes)
• Breaking changes will find their way into the next major release, other changes will go into an semi-immediate patch or minor release
• For a quick PR template suggesting the right information, use one of these PR templates:
  • Breaking Changes/Features
  • Backwards-Compatible Features
  • Bug fixes
  • Documentation Changes
  • Test/Build/Other Changes

Compatibility

Every minor version of controller-runtime has been tested with a specific minor version of client-go. A controller-runtime minor version may be compatible with other client-go minor versions, but this is by chance and neither supported nor tested. In general, we create one minor version of controller-runtime for each minor version of client-go and other k8s.io/* dependencies.

The minimum Go version of controller-runtime is the highest minimum Go version of our Go dependencies. Usually, this will be identical to the minimum Go version of the corresponding k8s.io/* dependencies.

Compatible k8s.io/*, client-go and minimum Go versions can be looked up in our go.mod file.
