Get started
Get started with automating the process of deploying and managing open-source Apache Cassandra® or DataStax Enterprise (DSE) in a Kubernetes (K8s) cluster:
-
On this cluster, you will apply the Kubernetes Operator for Apache Cassandra and related definitions, and deploy your Cassandra or DSE database. Then, you’ll connect to the deployed database from inside or outside the K8s cluster.
-
After establishing a Kubernetes cluster, see Get started with the Cassandra Operator to apply pre-configured the Cassandra Operator manifests and related definitions to the Kubernetes environment.
For other install options, see Install options for the Cassandra Operator.
-
Connect to your database on your cluster:
-
Use
cqlshto connect to your database from within the Kubernetes cluster. -
Use various connection methods to connect to database resources and services running in K8s from outside the cluster.
-
-
With your database resources and connections in place, you can then use the Cassandra Operator to manage Cassandra and DSE resources in your Kubernetes cluster.
