Lifecycle Manager
Overview
Lifecycle Manager is an operator based on the Kubebuilder framework. It extends Kubernetes API by providing multiple Custom Resource Definitions, which allow you to manage their resources through custom resources (CR). For more information, see Lifecycle Manager Resources.
Lifecycle Manager manages the lifecycle of Kyma Modules in a cluster. It was introduced along with the concept of Kyma modularizaion.
For more information on the Lifecycle Manager's workflow, see the Architecture document.
