Shell Operator

Shell Operator is a tool we assess in the garden.

Blurb

Shell-operator is a tool for running event-driven scripts in a Kubernetes cluster - flant/shell-operator

Summary

When to use: small integrations (notify, label, trigger jobs) where a compiled operator is overkill; teams comfortable maintaining hook scripts and images.

When to skip: complex reconciliation loops, admission webhooks, or production controllers that need strong typing and tests in Go.

Ops note: treat hook scripts like production code: pin images, limit RBAC, and log hook failures to OpenTelemetry or cluster logging.
