The hardware operators
The hardware operators are operators that you install on a liken
cluster. Each one publishes one kind of machine hardware as DRA
devices, so a workload claims that hardware the way
Give a workload a device shows, with no
privilege and no host path.
Each operator is a DRA driver of its own, separate from the operating system’s driver that Devices describes. The operating system publishes the hardware a machine holds, such as a Bluetooth radio, a GPU, or a sound card. A hardware operator publishes what that hardware serves, at the grain a workload asks for: a paired controller, a monitor output, an audio output.
The name of an operator’s device class is also the hostname of its manual. Each manual gives the install steps and the claims for its devices:
- bluetooth.liken.sh publishes paired Bluetooth controllers. The source is liken-sh/bluetooth-operator.
- display.liken.sh publishes monitor outputs. The source is liken-sh/display-operator.
- audio.liken.sh publishes audio outputs. The source is liken-sh/audio-operator.
