cloudurable/cassandra repository overview

Goal of this project is to create AMI, Vagrant Box and Docker base images that one could use to deploy Cassandra.

The docker image is hosted on docker hub (see DockerHub⁠). The vagrant box is hosted on Atlas see (Atlas⁠). The source code is hosted on GitHub (see GitHub⁠).

Key features of image, AMI, Vagrant box

• Uses JBOD instead of RAID
• Uses ergonomics to configure Cassandra based on deployment environment
• Sets up security if requested
• Sets up TLS/SSL if requested
• Sets up HD encryption if requested
• Sets up users
• Installs Cassandra as a systemd service
• Allows cloud deploy
• Monitoring (CloudWatch, InfluxDB)
• Log aggregation (CloudWatch, ELK)

⁠Create a vagrant box

git clone https://github.com/cloudurable/cassandra-image.git
cd cassandra-image 
vagrant up 

⁠Connect to vagrant image

vagrant ssh

⁠Create a docker image

git clone https://github.com/cloudurable/cassandra-image.git
cd cassandra-image 
bin/start-image.sh

⁠Provisioning

We use packer and vagrant to create images.
