Spacelift

Spacelift has created a Kubernetes operator to address the limitations of running workers in Kubernetes using Docker-in-Docker. The operator allows for better resource management, scalability, and integration with Kubernetes functionality. It solves issues like the need for privileged containers, resource utilization, safe scaling down, and use of Kubernetes credentials. The operator creates Worker and WorkerPool resources, handles worker registration and scheduling, and creates Pods for each run. It provides flexibility for customizing Pod configurations and supports scaling of WorkerPools.
