The general availability of Couchbase Autonomous Operator 2.0 marks a significant milestone in the company's mission to create a cloud-native database platform. This release introduces several new enterprise-grade features, including automated security management, resource management, centralized monitoring through Prometheus, auto-configuration of cross datacenter replication (XDCR), and automatic backup and restore operations. The Autonomous Operator 2.0 builds upon the Kubernetes platform at its core and re-architects how Couchbase is installed, upgraded, and managed, including role-based access control security, XDCR management, monitoring through Prometheus, and scheduled backups. This release also introduces a new security model for deploying and managing Couchbase custom resources, which provides fine-grained access control over different parts of a Couchbase deployment. Additionally, the Autonomous Operator 2.0 supports automated security management, auto-configuration of cross datacenter replication, centralized monitoring through Prometheus, automatic backup and restore operations, certificate authentication using mutual TLS support, and global auto-compaction management.
