# Deprecation Notice

**Use of this operator for new Kong installations is discouraged in favor of the [kubectl](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/2.7.x/install-and-run/kubernetes/) and [Helm](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/2.7.x/install-and-run/helm/) installation methods. This operator is being deprecated in favor of a replacement based on Golang (instead of Helm). During the version `v0.x.x` lifecycle of this tool we decided that Helm did not suite our needs for a robust feature-rich operator. Security updates for this repository will be continued for the time being; but new features and other requests will not be prioritized. You can track the progress of the successor operator [here](https://incubator.konghq.com/p/gateway-operator/) and we highly encourage feature requests and discussions on the [new operator repository](https://github.com/Kong/gateway-operator-docs) to let us know your use cases and needs.**

**Kong Operator** is a Kubernetes [operator](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/operator/) which manages [Kong Ingress Controller](https://github.com/Kong/kubernetes-ingress-controller/) instances.

With Kong Operator running in your cluster, you can spin up multiple instances of Kong, each of them configured by a `Kong` custom resource ([example][kong-cr-example]). See the [Quick Start][section-quick-start] section below to get up and running.

## Supported Kubernetes versions

* Kubernetes v1.15+
* Try it out: Kong Operator runs on [microk8s][microk8s] but requires `dns` and `rbac` microk8s addons.
* Note: Kong Ingress Controller v0.9 does not support the `spec.ingressClassName` field introduced in Kubernetes v1.18. Instead, use the (deprecated in v1.18) `kubernetes.io/ingress.class` annotation.
* OKD v4.3+

## Quick Start

1. Deploy kong-operator:
1. Navigate to the [Kong operator at OperatorHub][operatorhub-kong].
1. Click "Install".
1. Follow the instructions described in the pop-up in order.
1. Deploy a Kong Ingress Controller with `example-ingress-class` Ingress class (see [_Configuration_ section][section-configuration] for available options):
```
kubectl create -f - <
