Kubernetes

The operator acts like a SRE inside your own cluster, properly deploying and configuring the various Speedscale components.

The Speedscale Kubernetes Operator works similarly to a service mesh controller like Istio or Linkerd. It waits for deployments to be applied to the cluster that contain specific annotations. It then automatically stands up an isolation test environment around the deployment. The operator itself is a deployment that will be always present on the cluster.

Looking to install the operator? Follow the step-by-step instructions in the Quick Start – Install Speedscale Operator.
