Focus on Creativity, Not Clusters: DataStax Mission Control in Action!

DataStax has introduced DataStax Mission Control, an operations platform designed to help deploy and manage DevOps tasks on Cassandra and DSE clusters. It assists with deployments, upgrades, data operations, monitoring, and security. With Mission Control, users can manage all of their clusters and nodes, regardless of whether they’re racked in an on-premises data center or deployed in a private or public cloud. The platform simplifies tasks like scheduling repairs, taking backups, handling the complete lifecycle of TLS certificates, and more. Mission Control is 100% Kubernetes-based and requires Kubernetes for itself and for future provisioning. It can either be installed on an existing Kubernetes cluster or installed with an embedded Kubernetes runtime. The platform has a browser-based user interface (UI) that enables users to create projects, clusters, and nodes easily. Mission Control automates the lifecycle of TLS certificates used for node-to-node encryption. It significantly reduces the time spent on cluster and node provisioning and maintenance, allowing database professionals to focus more on driving data storage innovation for their organization.
