How Kubernetes operators manage application state

Operators extend Kubernetes with custom resources and use a reconciliation loop to ensure an application's current state matches its desired configuration.

#2about 10 minutes

Debugging a resource association error in an operator

A misconfigured resource reference in the YAML manifest prevents Kibana from starting, which is diagnosed using `kubectl describe` to find the association error.

#3about 7 minutes

Troubleshooting persistent volume claim storage issues
