The direct Config Connector guide is ready

We launched a major improvement to develope the Config Connector resources. This approach significantly enhances the reliability of the Config Connector object reconciliation and provides a more Kubernetes-native developing experience. Learn more in the Direct resource development guide.

GCP Config Connector

Config Connector is a Kubernetes add-on that allows customers to manage GCP resources, such as Cloud Spanner or Cloud Storage, through your cluster's API.

With Config Connector, now you can describe GCP resources declaratively using Kubernetes-style configuration. Config Connector will create any new GCP resources and update any existing ones to the state specified by your configuration, and continuously makes sure GCP is kept in sync. The same resource model is the basis of Istio, Knative, Kubernetes, and the Google Cloud Services Platform.

As a result, developers can manage their whole application, including both its Kubernetes components as well as any GCP dependencies, using the same configuration, and more importantly tooling. For example, the same customization or templating tool can be used to manage test vs. production versions of an application across both Kubernetes and GCP.

This repository contains full Config Connector source code. This includes controllers, CRDs, install bundles, and sample resource configurations.
