Opsy AMI Operator¶
The Opsy AMI Operator is a Kubernetes controller designed to streamline and automate the lifecycle management of Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for AWS-based Kubernetes clusters. This tool seamlessly integrates with both managed Amazon EKS clusters and self-managed Kubernetes environments on AWS (TBD).
