Scylla Operator is a Kubernetes Operator for managing and automating tasks related to managing a Scylla clusters.
Scylla is a close-to-the-hardware rewrite of Cassandra in C++. It features a shared nothing architecture that enables true linear scaling and major hardware optimizations that achieve ultra-low latencies and extreme throughput. It is a drop-in replacement for Cassandra and uses the same interfaces.
The current version of scylla-operator requires Kubernetes >= 1.19.
Kubernetes manifests are located in the deploy/ folder. To deploy the operator manually using Kubernetes manifests or to integrate it into your GitOps flow please follow these instructions.
You can also use Helm charts to deploy both Scylla Operator and Scylla clusters:
helm repo add scylla-operator https://storage.googleapis.com/scylla-operator-charts/stablehelm repo add scylla-operator https://storage.googleapis.com/scylla-operator-charts/latestTo quickly deploy a ScyllaCluster, you can choose one of the following options:
- Generic: Follow this guide for the general way to use the operator.
- GKE: An advanced guide for deploying Scylla with the best performance settings on Google Kubernetes Engine.
- EKS: An advanced guide for deploying Scylla with the best performance settings on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service.
