Build
The Cassandra operator manages Cassandra clusters deployed to Kubernetes and automates tasks related to operating a Cassandra cluster.
Some planned features have yet to be completed and API changes are still possible, meaning that bug fixes, API and version changes may not be backwards compatible.
Currently user facing Cassandra cluster objects are created as Kubernetes Custom Resources.
We expect to consider the Cassandra operator stable soon; backwards incompatible changes will not be made once the project reaches stability.
