Description

Overview

The GitLab operator is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of GitLab instances in your Kubernetes or Openshift container platforms.

   [Documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/installation/operator.html)

   The operator, while new and still actively being developed, aims to:
   - ease installation and configuration of GitLab instances
   - offer seamless upgrades from version to version

Prerequisites

Documentation.

 IngressClass

   Cluster-wide `IngressClass` should be created prior to Operator setup, as OLM does not currently support this object type:

  ```yaml
   apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
   kind: IngressClass
   metadata:
     # Ensure this value matches `spec.chart.values.global.ingress.class`
     # in the GitLab CR on the next step.
     name: gitlab-nginx
   spec:
     controller: k8s.io/ingress-nginx
   ```
