- Website: https://www.instaclustr.com/
- Wiki: https://github.com/instaclustr/cassandra-operator/wiki
- Documentation: https://www.instaclustr.com/support/documentation/
Project Status: Alpha
The Cassandra Operator manages Cassandra clusters deployed to Kubernetes and automates tasks related to operating a Cassandra cluster.
Currently user-facing, Cassandra cluster objects are created as Kubernetes Custom Resources.
Cassandra Version Support
We are currently building images for Cassandra 3.11.9 and 4.0-beta4.
Documentation
All relevant information related to the usage of our Instaclustr Cassandra Operator is in our operator wiki
Requirements
- Kubernetes 1.15+
- Helm 3 (if you want to use the included helm charts)
Limitations
- This operator is currently a work in progress, and breaking changes are landing in master all the time. Here be dragons!
- We expect to consider the Cassandra Operator stable soon; backwards incompatible changes will not be made once the project reaches stability.
- Some planned features have yet to be completed, and API changes are still possible—meaning that bug fixes, API, and version changes may not be backwards compatible.
- Please see the Instaclustr supported projects page for the enterprise support status of the Cassandra Operator.
