Project Kubernetes Operator

Understudy

A Kubernetes operator for best-effort high availability of single-replica workloads. When a node disruption announces itself — drain, upgrade, Karpenter consolidation, or spot reclaim — it brings up a stand-in pod, waits until that pod is genuinely serving traffic, and only then lets the original leave. The second pod exists only for the minutes a disruption is in flight.

During a real AWS spot interruption, it measured roughly one failed request — fewer than an ordinary rolling deploy of the same workload.
