I am interested in documenting all of the users and getting some more feedback on what is and isn't working.

We are using TPRs to manage kubernetes clusters with kubernetes.

See http://blog.kubernetes.io/2017/01/how-we-run-kubernetes-in-kubernetes-kubeception.html

At SAP, we're working on an OpenStack operator that creates various types of things in OpenStack (currently, Keystone domains, projects, users, groups and roles; will expand to Swift accounts, Designate zones etc. later): https://github.com/sapcc/kubernetes-operators/tree/master/openstack-operator

There's a difference between TPRs and Operators. At Soho House I've built a few with different degrees of success. Some of the operators use TPRs, some of them they just listen to events and react to them.

• Postgres Operator (TPR): to create/destroy databases in the cluster or in the cloud.
• Namespace Operator: to initialise namespaces (secrets, ingress, etc), and destroy ns once they're not needed anymore.
• EIP Operator (TPR): whitelisting IPs and management of those IPs/labels

Since I was the only one with kubernetes knowledge, I expose the kube events using NATs to allow the other developers to build logic around what's happening in the cluster. For example, we have a couple of jobs that interface with banks and Salesforce and these jobs need to know what has been executed and what's in execution at runtime. I'm using Nats as a way of turning the Kube API into a kind of pub/sub event queue.

I will be talking at KubeCon about our solution and what it worked and what it didn't.

hypernetes is using TPR resource to manage network. https://github.com/hyperhq/hypernetes/

kubeless https://github.com/skippbox/kubeless is using TPR . I would like to see better support for it in the incubating Python client

I'm using TPRs for Kubestack operators.

We, AppsCode, are using TPRs for

• Icinga2 operator - https://github.com/appscode/searchlight
• HAProxy based Ingress controller - https://github.com/appscode/voyager

Helm project is looking into using TPRs to store release data:

• helm/helm#1650 (comment)

AppController uses TPR to store deployment graphs.

WIP for Spark on Kubernetes: kubernetes/kubernetes#34377 (comment)

We, Loodse - https://beta.kubermatic.io, use them but having the following issues:
-They don't get deleted with the namespace
-Having a TPR called node.example.org makes kubectl get nodes return my tpr's instead of the actual cluster nodes

Edit: As reference we used: https://github.com/Mirantis/k8s-externalipcontroller/tree/master/pkg/extensions

WIP using TPR's for Amalgam8 microservice routing rules.

We are using TPRs at Zalando Technology for:

• our own Zalando Platform IAM OAuth integration: zalando-incubator/kubernetes-on-aws#154
• PostgreSQL cluster definition (operator will create a new PostgreSQL/Patroni cluster)

We are building Archon which is a set of controllers that runs on k8s and manages the physical resources that k8s currently doesn't, like Instance, InstanceGroup, Network (defined as TPR). So the cluster managed can scale itself.

@hongchaodeng didn't get notification from github. But luckily my colleague found this gist.

@philips is it possible to put the link to archon repo at the end? I think it will make the format better. Thanks a lot.

I use TPR for a Kafka Operator
https://github.com/krallistic/kafka-operator

We're also using TPRs to manage kubernetes clusters with kubernetes, and develop many controllers like KubernetesController, MachineController, MachineSetController, MachineDeploymentController, etc.
