Couchbase has released Autonomous Operator 2.3.0, focusing on simplifying DevOps and development while introducing innovative solutions. Key features include the management of Scopes and Collections, which are significant architectural improvements from Couchbase Server 7.0 that enhance data organization and application density for microservices-based architectures. These features enable schema isolation and microservice-based isolation, allowing for more efficient data management and reduced total cost of ownership. The release also introduces a new Operator Self-Certification Lifecycle tool, which helps users validate the compatibility of their Kubernetes platforms with Autonomous Operator, even if they are not using officially certified platforms. This self-certification tool is particularly useful for those dealing with data locality issues, on-premise deployments, or vendor lock-in. Additional enhancements and resources are available in the product-specific release notes.
