Cassandra operator
Build
Project status: alpha
Major planned features have yet to be completed and API changes are currently planned, we reserve the right to address bugs and API changes in a backwards incompatible way before the project is declared stable. See upgrade guide for safe upgrade process.
Currently user facing Cassandra cluster objects are created as Kubernetes Custom Resources.
We expect to consider the Cassandra operator stable soon; backwards incompatible changes will not be made once the project reaches stability.
Overview
The Cassandra operator manages Cassandra clusters deployed to Kubernetes and automates tasks related to operating an Cassandra cluster.
