KubeOps Packages

KubeOps is designed to be modular, allowing you to include only the packages you need for your specific use case. This section provides detailed information about each package and its features.

Guide vs. Packages — where to read what​

The documentation is split into two sidebars:

  • Documentation (the operator guide) explains concepts and how-tos: how controllers, finalizers, and webhooks work, how to configure, test, observe, and deploy an operator. Start there when you want to build something.
  • Packages (this section) is the per-package reference: what each NuGet package contains, when you need it, and how to install it. Each page embeds the package README and ends with an API Reference section linking to the full public API surface on FuGet/NuGet. Come here when you need to know which package provides a type or what a package's exact API looks like.

As a rule of thumb: most operators only reference KubeOps.Operator (which pulls in KubeOps.Abstractions and KubeOps.KubernetesClient), add KubeOps.Operator.Web for webhooks, and use KubeOps.Cli as a tool — everything else is opt-in.

Each package is designed to work together seamlessly while maintaining independence where possible. This modular approach allows you to pick and choose the components you need for your operator implementation.
