kubevirt/hyperconverged-cluster-operator — Operator pattern for managing multi-operator products
Description and use
The HyperConverged Cluster Operator (HCO) is an open‑source Kubernetes operator that orchestrates the deployment, configuration, and lifecycle of multiple related operators (such as KubeVirt, CDI, and SSP) to deliver a fully integrated hyper‑converged infrastructure stack. By abstracting the complexity of coordinating these components, HCO enables users to install, upgrade, and monitor a complete virtualization‑enabled OpenShift/Kubernetes environment through a single, declarative custom resource.
Problem
kubevirt/hyperconverged-cluster-operator helps make deployment and operations more repeatable.
Outcome
Medium: useful for prototypes or internal workflows, with dependency and maintenance checks before production.
Workflow
- standardize deployment
- automate operations
- improve platform reliability
