Watch the DataStax Kubernetes Operator in Action

Containers have become popular due to their ability to enable software teams to ship better products faster and more efficiently. However, they introduce complexities of their own, which is why Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration platform, has gained popularity among development teams. Despite its benefits, Kubernetes also introduces additional complexities. To address this issue, DataStax built the Kubernetes Operator to simplify the process of describing many lower-level Kubernetes components and provide a logical interface for describing an application. The operator automates deployment tasks such as managing individual Kubernetes resources for a cluster and handling configuration changes in a rolling fashion. This allows administrators to focus on more important aspects of their work, while ensuring that no system slips through the cracks during configuration, startup, or deployments stages.
