  • Virtualbox - hypervisor to run a Kubernetes cluster
  • Minikube - for Kubernetes cluster creation on local machine
  • Kubectl - to interact with Kubernetes cluster

Tools to build an Operator

Apart from kubernetes cluster, there are some tools which are needed to build and test the redis operator.
Required Tools:-

Build Locally

To achieve this, execute this command:-
make build

Build Image

Redis operator gets packaged as a container image for running on the Kubernetes cluster. These instructions will guide you to build an image.
make build-image

Testing

If you want to play it on Kubernetes. You can use a minikube.
# Start minikube
minikube start --vm-driver virtualbox
# Deploy the image on minikube
helm upgrade redis-cluster ./helm/redis-setup \
--set redisSetup.setupMode="cluster" \
--set redisSetup.clusterSize=3 \
--install --namespace redis-operator
