#InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO)

The InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) automates the deployment of InterSystems IRIS® topologies on any Kubernetes platform. It extends the Kubernetes API with the IrisCluster custom resource, which can be deployed as an InterSystems IRIS sharded cluster, distributed cache cluster, or standalone instance (all optionally mirrored) on any Kubernetes platform. The IKO also adds InterSystems IRIS-specific cluster management capabilities to Kubernetes, enabling automation of tasks like adding nodes to a cluster, which you would otherwise have to do manually by interacting directly with the instances.
