From FluentBit Operator to Fluent Operator: The Long Way to Come
summary
FluentBit Operator controls Fluent Bit via Kubernetes API using six CRDs (input/filter/output/config/FluentBit/others) and implements dynamic config reloading by replacing Fluent Bit’s entrypoint with a small watcher binary that restarts the process when generated configs change. It converts kubelet and auditd logs to container-style JSON with Lua scripts, sends directly to sinks like ES or Kafka, and keeps Fluentd optional sink for heavier aggregation. Roadmap adds three cluster CRDs, merges into the Fluent org (releases 0.9 → 0.12) and renames to Fluent Operator.
