Operator for OPA Gatekeeper

Design

Please see the Gatekeeper Operator design document located at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Nxw4Agq6nJrPL24fJPiTXtjtLQRsLJtHo9x5urwYB_I/edit?usp=sharing for some background information.

Installation

To install the Gatekeeper Operator, you can either run it outside the cluster, for faster iteration during development, or inside the cluster.

But first we require installing the Operator CRD:

make install

Then proceed to the installation method you prefer below.

Outside the Cluster

If you would like to run the Operator outside the cluster, you'll have to set the WATCH_NAMESPACE environment variable to the namespace you want the Operator to monitor:

1. Set the WATCH_NAMESPACE environment variable:

   export WATCH_NAMESPACE=gatekeeper-system

2. You then run the Operator with:

   make run

Inside the Cluster

If you would like to run the Operator inside the cluster, you'll need to build a container image. You can use a local private registry, or host it on a public registry service like quay.io.

1. Build your image:

   make docker-build IMG=<registry>/<imagename>:<tag>

2. Push the image:

   make docker-push IMG=<registry>/<imagename>:<tag>

3. Deploy the Operator:

   make deploy IMG=<registry>/<imagename>:<tag>
