Running K8ssandra

In the previous scenarios you have learned to install and use the individual open source components of an Apache Cassandra ecosystem in Kubernetes. Now, let's learn how to use K8ssandra to install and customize these same components in an integrated system!

Note: If you have not already completed the prerequisite scenarios, you can find them here:

• Introduction: Deploying a Sample Application with Cassandra in Kubernetes
• Running Cassandra in Docker
• Managing Cassandra Clusters in Kubernetes Using the Cass-Operator
• Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana
• Access Cassandra Via Stargate APIs

In this scenario, we will:

• Install the K8ssandra ecosystem and the example app
• Customize our system to perform monitoring using the Helm chart
• Expose Reaper so we can access it via the Katacoda proxy
• Use an ingress to expose Stargate APIs
• Modify the size of our cluster using Helm
  

Let's get started!
