ScyllaDB Manager 2.0

ScyllaDB Manager 2.0.1 has been released as a production-ready version for both ScyllaDB Enterprise and Open-Source customers, offering significant enhancements such as recurrent backups to AWS S3 and the introduction of the ScyllaDB Manager Agent. The recurrent backup feature allows users to schedule periodic or ad-hoc backups with customizable settings for bandwidth, parallelism, and timing, while also handling SSTable deduplication and providing progress reports. The new Manager Agent is designed to streamline communication between the Manager Server and ScyllaDB nodes over HTTPS, eliminating the need for SSH connectivity and minimizing performance impact through CPU pinning and Systemd slices. Additionally, ScyllaDB Manager now supports IPv6 for communication between the Manager and ScyllaDB nodes, aligning with the growing adoption of IPv6 due to the depletion of IPv4 addresses. The release also includes updates to the ScyllaDB Monitoring Stack with a new Manager 2.0 dashboard to track metrics effectively.
