Tailscale's Kubernetes operator allows integration of Kubernetes services with Tailscale's secure mesh network.
The Kubernetes operator facilitates not only intra-cluster service connectivity but also inter-cluster/container-cloud datacenter connectivity.
It simplifies secure exposure of services to Tailscale's network, including Kubernetes control plane (kube-apiserver) without exposing them to the internet.
The operator makes use of loadBalancerClass and ingress resources for service exposure within the Kubernetes environment.
Deployment is made easier with the Kubernetes operator through Helm charts or manifest files, aiming to reduce manual overhead.
