Milvus Operator

ATTENTIONS: THE MAIN BRANCH MAY BE IN AN UNSTABLE OR EVEN BROKEN STATE DURING DEVELOPMENT.

Overview

Milvus is a cloud-native, open-source vector database built to manage embedding vectors generated by machine learning models and neural networks. It extends the capabilities of best-in-class approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search libraries (e.g. Faiss, NMSLIB, Annoy) and features on-demand scalability, and high availability.

The Milvus Operator provides an easy and solid solution to deploy and manage a full Milvus service stack including both the milvus components and its relevant dependencies such as etcd, pulsar and minio to the target Kubernetes clusters in a scalable and high-available way. The Milvus Operator defines a milvuscluster custom resources on top of Kubernetes Custom Resources. The Kubernetes API can then be used in a declarative way to manage Milvus deployment stack and ensure its scalability and high-availability operation.
