This PR implements a complete Kubernetes Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and operator solution for ResourceCapsules, extending the existing basic-docker-engine with native Kubernetes integration and GitOps workflow support.

🚀 Key Features Implemented

ResourceCapsule CRD

  • Complete OpenAPI v3 schema with validation constraints for data integrity
  • Namespace-scoped resources supporting multi-tenant environments
  • Status subresource for proper lifecycle management (Pending, Active, Failed)
  • Built-in rollback configuration with previous version tracking

Operator Implementation

  • Event-driven controller that watches ResourceCapsule Add/Modify/Delete events
  • Automated resource creation - creates ConfigMaps or Secrets based on spec
  • Status management with timestamps and descriptive messages
  • Graceful error handling and recovery mechanisms

CLI Integration

New k8s-crd command suite providing:

# Create ResourceCapsule from file
basic-docker k8s-crd create app-config 1.0 /path/config.yaml [configmap|secret]

# List all ResourceCapsules
basic-docker k8s-crd list

# Get ResourceCapsule details
basic-docker k8s-crd get app-config

# Delete ResourceCapsule
basic-docker k8s-crd delete app-config

# Rollback to previous version
basic-docker k8s-crd rollback app-config 0.9

# Start the operator
basic-docker k8s-crd operator start [namespace]

GitOps Ready

  • Declarative YAML configuration for version control integration
  • ArgoCD/Flux compatible - works with popular GitOps tools
  • Built-in versioning with automated rollback capabilities
  • Kubernetes-native resource management

🔧 Technical Implementation

Core Components

  • crd_types.go - Go structs with full DeepCopy support for CRD API
  • crd_operator.go - ResourceCapsule operator with event handling
  • k8s/crd-resourcecapsule.yaml - CRD definition with OpenAPI schema
  • Updated kubernetes.go with dynamic client and CRD management functions

Testing & Validation

  • Unit tests for CRD types, DeepCopy operations, and unstructured handling
  • Integration tests added to kind workflow for real cluster validation
  • Error handling tests for graceful degradation in test environments
  • Demo script (demo-crd.sh) showcasing end-to-end functionality

Example Usage

apiVersion: capsules.docker.io/v1
kind: ResourceCapsule
metadata:
  name: app-config
spec:
  data:
    config.yaml: |
      database:
        host: db.example.com
        port: 5432
      redis:
        host: redis.example.com
  version: "1.0"
  capsuleType: configmap
  rollback:
    enabled: true
status:
  phase: Active
  lastUpdated: "2024-08-02T12:00:00Z"
  message: "ResourceCapsule successfully created"

🎯 Benefits

  1. Native Kubernetes Integration - ResourceCapsules are now first-class Kubernetes resources
  2. Operator Pattern - Automated lifecycle management following Kubernetes best practices
  3. GitOps Compatible - Declarative configuration enables GitOps workflows
  4. Backward Compatible - Existing k8s-capsule commands remain unchanged
  5. Production Ready - Comprehensive testing and error handling

📋 Files Modified/Added

  • k8s/crd-resourcecapsule.yaml - CRD definition
  • crd_types.go - Go API types for ResourceCapsule CRD
  • crd_operator.go - ResourceCapsule operator implementation
  • crd_test.go - Tests for CRD functionality
  • kubernetes.go - Added CRD management functions
  • main.go - Added k8s-crd CLI commands
  • .github/workflows/kind.yml - Updated with CRD testing
  • KUBERNETES_INTEGRATION.md - Updated documentation
  • demo-crd.sh - End-to-end demonstration script

This implementation addresses all requirements from the issue: CRD implementation, operator functionality, automated versioning, rollback capabilities, and GitOps integration, while maintaining pragmatic decisions and minimal complexity.
