Administer projects
Mission Control organizes clusters by projects. A project is a logical grouping of clusters. For example, you might have a project for each environment (dev, test, prod), or for each team (team1, team2, team3).
Administrators with the correct permissions can easily control the lifecycle of nodes, datacenters, and underlying hardware.
Perform database operations using the Mission Control User Interface (UI)
Mission Control provides a UI through the IP address of any node using port 30880 on
the Control-Plane cluster.
For example, issue https://10.0.0.3:30880 from a web browser, where 10.0.0.3 is the
qualifying node’s IP address.
Create a new project
The first item in the sidebar gives you access to the list of projects. Click on Projects → to display the list of existing projects. In that list click on + New Project to create a new project:
Enter a name for the project in the New project dialog, and then click Create Project. Mission Control generates a unique identifier called the Project Slug. The new project is created. Access it by selecting its name in the Projects → list.
Perform database operations using a Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Kubernetes kubectl command-line tool, v1.22 or later, enables you to run commands programmatically against Kubernetes (K8s) clusters through the K8s API server.
Create a new project
Projects are special namespaces that have two additional fields:
-
A
mission-control.datastax.com/is-projectlabel set totrue -
A
mission-control.datastax.com/project-nameannotation set to the project name
The project slug is used as the name for the namespace and generated by Mission Control when a project is created. Here is an example of a project definition:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
name: <project-slug>
labels:
mission-control.datastax.com/is-project: "true"
annotations:
mission-control.datastax.com/project-name: "<`MY_PROJECT`>"After saving this manifest to a file (example, <`MY_PROJECT>.yaml`), you can create the project with the following command:
kubectl apply -f <`MY_PROJECT`>yamlDeleting a project
Deleting a project is as simple as deleting the namespace:
kubectl delete namespace <`MY_PROJECT`>Modify a project name
The project name is stored in the mission-control.datastax.com/project-name annotation. You can modify it with the following command:
kubectl annotate namespace <`MY_PROJECT`> mission-control.datastax.com/project-name=<`NEW_PROJECT_NAME`> --overwriteParameter |
