The Cassandra Helm chart provides an easy way to deploy Apache Cassandra, a highly scalable and distributed NoSQL database. This chart allows you to manage Cassandra instances on Kubernetes with customizable resource allocation, persistence, and scaling options.

Add Helm Repository

Before deploying the Cassandra chart, add the Helm repository to your local setup:

For more details, refer to the Helm Repository Documentation.

Install Helm Chart

To install the Cassandra Helm chart, use the following command:

helm install [RELEASE_NAME]

Replace [RELEASE_NAME] with your desired release name. For example:

To customize configurations, provide a values.yaml file or override values via the command line.

See Helm Install Documentation for more information.

Uninstall Helm Chart

helm uninstall [RELEASE_NAME]

For example:

See Helm Uninstall Documentation for additional details.

Configuration

The Cassandra Helm chart includes several configuration options to tailor the deployment to your needs. Below is a summary of the key configurations:

You can override these values in a values.yaml file or via the command line during installation.

Example values.yaml File

resources:
  requests:
    memory: "2000Mi"
    cpu: "500m"
  limits:
    memory: "4000Mi"
    cpu: "1000m"
