Juju SDK Documentation

The Charmed Operator Software Development Kit (SDK) is a toolkit for packaging applications—in a special format called Charmed Operators (‘charms’)—for the cloud. It is a component of the Charmed Operator Framework Juju and it consists of the command line tool Charmcraft (charmcraft) and the Python charmed operator framework Ops (ops).

The SDK provides commands and templates to package both Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes applications in one standard format with the extension “.charm”. These can be subsequently deployed using Juju’s Charmed Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).

As such, the SDK makes it quick and easy to make applications of any type ready for the cloud.

For DevOps, Juju’s SDK simplifies workflow; for CIOs, it helps reimagine solutions, as it lowers the barrier for including new applications.

For a collection of existing charms, see Charmhub. To deploy and manage an existing or new charm, see the Charmed Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).
