WebLogic Kubernetes Operator

The WebLogic Kubernetes Operator (the “operator”) supports running your WebLogic Server and Fusion Middleware Infrastructure domains on Kubernetes, an industry standard, cloud neutral deployment platform. It lets you encapsulate your entire WebLogic Server installation and layered applications into a portable set of cloud neutral images and simple resource description files. You can run them on any on-premises or public cloud that supports Kubernetes where you've deployed the operator.

Furthermore, the operator is well suited to CI/CD processes. You can easily inject changes when moving between environments, such as from test to production. For example, you can externally inject database URLs and credentials during deployment or you can inject arbitrary changes to most WebLogic configurations.

The operator takes advantage of the Kubernetes operator pattern, which means that it uses Kubernetes APIs to provide support for operations, such as: provisioning, lifecycle management, application versioning, product patching, scaling, and security. The operator also enables the use of tooling that is native to this infrastructure for monitoring, logging, tracing, and security.

You can:

The fastest way to experience the operator is to follow the Quick Start guide, or you can peruse our documentation, read our blogs, or try out the samples.

Documentation

Documentation for the operator is available here.

This documentation includes information for users and for developers. It provides samples, reference material, security information and a Quick Start guide if you just want to get up and running quickly.

Documentation for prior releases of the operator: 3.4, 4.0, and 4.1.

Backward compatibility guidelines

The 2.0 release introduced some breaking changes and did not maintain compatibility with previous releases.

Starting with the 2.0.1 release, operator releases are intended to be backward compatible with respect to the domain resource schema, operator Helm chart input values, configuration overrides template, Kubernetes resources created by the operator Helm chart, Kubernetes resources created by the operator, and the operator REST interface. We intend to maintain compatibility for three releases, except in the case of a clearly communicated deprecated feature, which will be maintained for one release after a replacement is available.

Need more help? Have a suggestion? Come and say, "Hello!"

We have a public Slack channel where you can get in touch with us to ask questions about using the operator or give us feedback or suggestions about what features and improvements you would like to see. We would love to hear from you. To join our channel, please visit this site to get an invitation. The invitation email will include details of how to access our Slack workspace. After you are logged in, please come to #operator and say, "hello!"
