You want to know how to integrate Cassandra into your distributed application and use Kubernetes to manage it all for you. This Skill Page will show you how!
Get Started
Are you developing a cloud-based application? Then you are in one of two camps: those who are using Kubernetes for lifecycle management, or those who are about to use Kubernetes for lifecycle management! In either case, you want to know how to integrate Cassandra into your distributed application and use Kubernetes to manage it all for you. We’ll show you how!
Next Concept: Why Kubernetes and Cassandra?
A great feature of Apache Cassandra™ is its elastic ability to grow and shrink as required. Kubernetes simplifies distributed systems lifecycle management. Combining Cassandra with Kubernetes is a synergistic and natural fit that allows you to resize your Cassandra cluster by telling Kubernetes what you want and letting Kubernetes figure out the details of how to get there.
Next Concept: How to use Kubernetes with Cassandra
If you are new to Kubernetes, setting up anything but a simple Kubernetes cluster can be daunting. Add to this the complexities of managing a Cassandra cluster and the task becomes downright overwhelming. But, have no fear! DataStax has created a Kubernetes Operator for Apache Cassandra™ that will simplify this task. This open source operator gives you Cassandra abstractions, such as datacenters and nodes, that you can use within Kubernetes. The operator also provides a controller to monitor and maintain your Cassandra cluster.
