konveyor/operator

Konveyor Operator is a Kubernetes operator that manages the deployment and lifecycle of Konveyor on Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters.

Konveyor addresses the challenge of migrating and refactoring legacy applications to run on Kubernetes and cloud-native platforms at scale. The operator automates the installation and ongoing management of Konveyor's analysis and transformation tools, eliminating manual configuration overhead. It handles resource provisioning, updates, and operational concerns so teams can focus on application modernization rather than infrastructure management.

Organizations should adopt this operator if they are running Kubernetes 1.25 or later or OpenShift 4.12 or later and need to manage Konveyor deployments across multiple clusters or environments. It suits teams undertaking large-scale application re-platforming efforts who want consistent, repeatable deployments. The operator requires Operator Lifecycle Manager support, persistent storage, ingress capabilities, and network policy support. By default, it enforces namespace network isolation through NetworkPolicy resources, restricting egress to cluster DNS, in-namespace traffic, and specific ports for external communication. Teams using non-standard ports for proxies, git repositories, artifact repositories, or other external systems will need to adjust the default network policies to allow those connections.

The project maintains active development with regular updates to support new Kubernetes and OpenShift versions. The operator is actively refined based on real-world deployment scenarios, as evidenced by detailed handling of network policy edge cases and support for various artifact repository configurations. The team responds to operational requirements encountered in production environments, incorporating feedback into the operator's default behaviors and documentation.
