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.
To quickly deploy a Scylla cluster, 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.
You can also use Helm charts to deploy both Scylla Operator and Scylla clusters:
# Stable charts
helm repo add scylla-operator https://storage.googleapis.com/scylla-operator-charts/stable
# Latest charts
helm repo add scylla-operator https://storage.googleapis.com/scylla-operator-charts/latestKubernetes Operator for Scylla
Currently it supports:
- Deploying multi-zone clusters
- Scaling up or adding new racks
- Scaling down
- Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana
- Integration with Scylla Manager
- Dead node replacement
- Version Upgrade
- Backup
- Repairs
- Autohealing
Future additions include:
