=== Kubernetes operator for managing container checkpoints ===
 +
 +
'''Summary:''' Develop a Kubernetes that automates the management of checkpoints
 +
 +
Container checkpointing has recently been introduced as an alpha feature in Kubernetes.
 +
To enable this feature, the kubelet API was extended with an endpoint that enables the
 +
creation of checkpoints for individual containers. By default, all container checkpoints
 +
are stored as tar archives in <code>/var/lib/kubelet/checkpoints</code> using the following
 +
file name format: <code>checkpoint-<pod-name>_<namespace-name>-<container-name>-<timestamp>.tar</code>.
 +
However, the current implementation does not provide a mechanism for limiting the number
 +
of checkpoints, which may lead to filling up all existing disk space. This project aims to
 +
develop a Kubernetes operator that automates the management of checkpoints and provides
 +
a garbage collection mechanism to discard obsolete checkpoints.
