Run K8ssandra on VMware Tanzu and Cut Hybrid Database’s Operational Complexity by Half

Apache Cassandra, an open-source distributed NoSQL database, is often used as the backend for modern applications. Running alongside Kubernetes, a container orchestration platform for microservices, can create complexity due to managing two distributed systems. To simplify this, DataStax introduced K8ssandra, an open-source cloud-native distribution of Cassandra that automates deployment and operations on Kubernetes. With the recent certification of K8ssandra on VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, enterprises can now manage their applications and data workloads in a hybrid environment, whether on premises, at the edge, or in any public cloud. This allows for seamless running of microservices with less operational headache and increased developer productivity by exposing the data backend as modern APIs.
