The operator is developed in projectcalico/calico. The master branch in this repository is no longer maintained. Bugs, feature requests, and pull requests go to projectcalico/calico. This repository still serves the release-v1.41 through release-v1.44 branches for the rest of their supported lives.

This repository contains a Kubernetes operator which manages the lifecycle of a Calico or Calico Enterprise installation on Kubernetes or OpenShift. Its goal is to make installation, upgrades, and ongoing lifecycle management of Calico and Calico Enterprise as simple and reliable as possible.

This operator is built using the operator-sdk, so you should be familiar with how that works before getting started.
