About:
Kubebuilder is a comprehensive SDK and framework for building Kubernetes APIs using Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). It provides a set of tools and libraries to generate boilerplate code, manage project scaffolding, and streamline the development of controllers and webhooks. Its main value is accelerating the creation of production-grade Kubernetes operators and extensions.
Key Features:
  • Scaffolds project structure and boilerplate code
  • Generates CRDs, controllers, and webhook logic
  • Integrated testing framework for operators
  • Manages API versioning and conversion
  • Simplifies RBAC and manifest generation
Use Cases:
  • Developing custom Kubernetes operators
  • Extending the Kubernetes API with new resource types
  • Building and maintaining production-grade controllers
Alternatives:
  • Operator SDK – Another popular framework for building operators, often used alongside Kubebuilder; Kubebuilder is now the core of Operator SDK's Go scaffold.
  • KUDO – Focuses on declaratively building operators for packaging complex applications, whereas Kubebuilder is a lower-level SDK for custom API development.
