FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy Apache Cassandra on Kubernetes?▼

Deploy Apache Cassandra on Kubernetes by installing the K8ssandra operator, which automates cluster provisioning and configuration across EKS, GKE, and AKS with cloud-specific storage classes and automated lifecycle management.

Can I set up backup and restore for a Cassandra cluster in Kubernetes?▼

You can set up backup and restore for a Cassandra cluster in Kubernetes using Medusa, which the deployment integrates alongside monitoring and automated repair tools for production-grade data resilience.

Does the K8ssandra operator support monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana?▼

The K8ssandra operator supports monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, providing comprehensive cluster visibility by deploying these integrated tools alongside the Cassandra database instances.

Can I configure TLS encryption and authentication for Cassandra on EKS, GKE, or AKS?▼

You can configure TLS encryption and authentication for Cassandra deployments across EKS, GKE, and AKS, ensuring secure access control and encrypted communication within your production-grade clusters.

What is the best way to manage automated repairs for Cassandra in Kubernetes?▼

Manage automated repairs for Cassandra in Kubernetes using Reaper, which integrates directly into the K8ssandra deployment to handle routine maintenance without requiring manual intervention.
