Kubernetes provides a rich framework for developers that enable the creation and management of microservices with relatively little code. By implementing operators as a service [1][2], the developer will benefit from the existing underlying Kubernetes conventions in addition to the highly available elements of the cluster. The resulting service will be accessible via a highly available API, backed by a replicated data store, and have built in user management and authorization. This REST API is capable of implementing all CRUD operations. Audience members will gain a new perspective of operators and their uses.
