Fastly Operator

A Go project that builds Kubernetes controllers for Fastly services.

Currently In Development

⚠️ This project is currently in development and not intended for public use ⚠️

Setup

Prerequisites

1. Fastly API Token: You'll need a Fastly API token to interact with Fastly services.

Configuration

Before deploying the operator, you need to create a secret file with your Fastly API credentials:

1. Create the Fastly secret file:

   # Create the secret file
   cat > config/operator/webhook/fastly-secret.yaml << 'EOF'
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     name: fastly-secret
     namespace: kube-system
   type: Opaque
   stringData:
     api-key: <YOUR_FASTLY_API_TOKEN_HERE>
   EOF

2. Replace the placeholder with your actual Fastly API token:

   • Edit config/operator/webhook/fastly-secret.yaml
   • Replace <YOUR_FASTLY_API_TOKEN_HERE> with your Fastly API token

   ⚠️ Security Note: This file contains sensitive credentials and is ignored by git. Never commit actual API tokens to version control.

Quick Start

# 1. First, set up your Fastly credentials (see Setup section above)

# 2. Deploy to local kind cluster (builds, creates cluster, and deploys)
make kind-deploy

# 3. Clean up when done
make kind-delete
make clean

Available Commands

make help          # Show all available commands
make build         - Build the Go binary locally
make docker-build  - Build Docker image
make kind-create   - Create kind cluster
make kind-load     - Load Docker image into kind cluster
make kind-deploy   - Build and deploy to kind cluster
make kind-delete   - Delete kind cluster
make clean         - Clean build artifacts

Kubernetes Resources

The project uses a simple deployment manifest in the config/ directory:

• deployment.yaml: Defines the Fastly operator deployment

This approach makes it easy to add more Kubernetes resources (ConfigMaps, Secrets, RBAC, etc.) as the project grows.
