|
_Operator Lifecycle Manager_ (OLM) helps users install, update, and manage the
|
|
lifecycle of all Operators and their associated services running across their
|
|
{product-title} clusters. It is part of the
|
|
link:https://operatorframework.io/[Operator Framework], an open source toolkit
|
|
designed to manage Kubernetes native applications (Operators) in an effective,
|
|
automated, and scalable way.

|
|
OLM runs by default in {product-title} {product-version}, which aids cluster
|
|
administrators in installing, upgrading, and granting access to Operators
|
|
running on their cluster. The {product-title} web console provides management
|
|
screens for cluster administrators to install Operators, as well as grant
|
|
specific projects access to use the catalog of Operators available on the
|
|
cluster.
|
|
|
|
For developers, a self-service experience allows provisioning and configuring
|
|
instances of databases, monitoring, and big data services without having to be
|
|
subject matter experts, because the Operator has that knowledge baked into it.
