The release of Couchbase Autonomous Operator 2.0 introduces a consolidated chart that simplifies the installation of key components like the Autonomous Operator, Admission Controller, Couchbase Cluster, and Sync Gateway with a single command. This new approach also integrates the installation of all CustomResourceDefinitions (CRDs), eliminating a previously separate step. The deployment process is facilitated through Helm, requiring users to add the Couchbase chart repository and install the chart using Helm commands. For monitoring, metrics from the Couchbase server can be exported to Prometheus and visualized in Grafana dashboards, with dependencies for these tools bundled into a single chart. Users can customize their monitoring dashboards further by referring to the Couchbase Exporter repository. Additional resources and tutorials are available for further customization, and the post acknowledges contributions from Daniel Ma and Matt Ingenthron.
