There are a few advantages:

* Being able to deploy koji from the operator-hub: https://operatorhub.io/

* Scaling builders on demand

* All the ops management capabilities provided by kubernetes

* Updating running koji instances would be managed by updating the operator image

Different architectures can be managed by kubernetes node labeling [1].

For example: you can label pods to target specific nodes, so an AARCH64 builder would run on nodes labeled with that architecture.

This is not in the scope of this initial operator proposal but Koji could also support creating builders as pods in the future (by directly provisioning those or delegating it to the operator), in a similar way Jenkins provisions "nodes" in kubernetes.

Hi Leonardo,

What would be the advantage of running Koji like this? Scaling builders
with demand?

How would you handle building for different architectures?

Cheers,
Alex
