The Couchbase Autonomous Operator 2.0 release introduces features and enhancements that simplify deploying, provisioning, monitoring, and managing Couchbase Server nodes on Kubernetes. The operator also supports deploying Sync Gateways, which provide secure data synchronization between Couchbase Lite enabled clients and the cloud. Deploying a Sync Gateway cluster involves connecting it to a Couchbase Server cluster using various network configurations, authenticating with Couchbase Server, and exposing it to Couchbase Lite clients through load balancers or TLS termination. The Autonomous Operator 2.0 introduces support for RBAC management and mTLS client authentication, allowing users to manage the creation of Sync Gateway RBAC users and authenticate using client certificates. A three-part tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for deploying a Sync Gateway cluster and exposing it to external clients, as well as managing the cluster, with sample YAML config files available for customization.
