K8ssandra is a helm chart that allows Apache Cassandra DBAs to easily bring up and manage a Cassandra cluster on any distribution of Kubernetes using a few simple commands. So what makes K8ssandra different from an operator such as Cass-Operator, CassKop?

This series, data operations guide for Apache Cassandra, will outline the general approaches for data operations in business-critical environments that leverage Cassandra and must maintain high availability in an agile development and continuous delivery environment. 

Just imagine a business platform that needs to work for people not just in three contents, but three planets. The idea is not as farfetched as you may think.

In the year 2000, I was lucky enough to get flown to LinuxWorld for free. I was just learning open source development and the Linux Operating System.
