Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community. Planet Scale Designed on the same principles that allows Google to run billions of containers a week, Kubernetes can scale without increasing your ops team.

从广义上讲，KubeDirector 是一个“自定义控制器”（自身部署到 K8s 中），监视在某些 K8s 命名空间中要创建或修改的给定类型的自定义资源。在这种情况下，KubeDirector 使用 K8s API 创建或更新群集的资源和配置，使其符合规范。

KubeDirector 的获奖评语写道：

KubeDirector 是作为 Kubernetes 运算符实现的，用于长期，有状态的业务流程编排，核心是为应用程序域建模，允许用户指定服务端点，持久性目录以及实例化之间必须保持不变的所有内容。
