The Couchbase Autonomous Operator enables the deployment and management of Couchbase clusters on Open Source Kubernetes or Enterprise Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. The operator handles cluster management tasks such as failure recovery and multidimensional scaling, allowing users to focus on other aspects of their application. A three-part blog series will cover various testing approaches for the operator, including manual testing, testing the operator itself, and testing individual Couchbase instances. The series aims to provide customers with peace of mind when running Couchbase on Kubernetes. Through a hands-on example using the travel-sample app, users can experience firsthand how the autonomous operator simplifies cluster management and provides features like autofailover, allowing for seamless operation even in the face of node failures.
