⁠Scylla Operator

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.

⁠Quickstart

To quickly deploy a Scylla cluster, choose one of the following options:

• Minikube⁠: super quick and easy way to get started with the Scylla operator.
• GKE⁠: advanced guide for deploying Scylla with the best performance settings.
• Generic⁠: your platform isn't included? Follow this guide!

⁠Description

The scylla-operator is a Kubernetes operator for managing scylla clusters. Currently it supports:

• Deploying multi-zone clusters
• Scaling up or adding new racks
• Scaling down
• Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana

Future additions include:

• Integration with Scylla Manager⁠
• Version Upgrade
• Backups
• Restores

⁠Top-Performance Setup

Scylla performs the best when it has fast disks and direct access to the cpu. To deploy Scylla with maximum performance, follow the guide for your environment:

• GKE⁠

⁠Bugs

If you find a bug or need help running scylla, you can reach out in the following ways:

• #kubernetes channel on Slack⁠.
• File an issue⁠ describing the problem and how to reproduce.

⁠Building the project

You can easily build Scylla Operator in your environment:

• Open the Makefile and change the IMG environment variable to a repository you have access to.
• Run make publish and wait for the image to be built and uploaded in your repo.
