Kubernetes Operator

When running SchemaHero as a Kubernetes operator, you can use kubectl schemahero commands to interact with the operator and manage schema migrations.

Prerequisites

• SchemaHero operator installed in your cluster (see install)
• kubectl configured to access your cluster
• kubectl-schemahero plugin installed

Available Commands

Workflow

The Kubernetes operator workflow differs from the CLI workflow:

1. Deploy Table resources - Apply Table manifests to your cluster
2. Review migrations - The operator generates Migration resources
3. Approve or reject - Use kubectl schemahero approve or reject
4. Operator applies - Approved migrations are executed automatically

For most use cases, we recommend the CLI workflow with schemahero plan and schemahero apply for simpler, more predictable deployments.
