ScyllaDB Manager Supports Google Cloud Storage

ScyllaDB Manager has expanded its backup storage options by adding support for Google Cloud Storage (GCS) alongside its existing AWS S3 compatibility, starting with version 2.2. This enhancement benefits ScyllaDB clusters deployed on Google Cloud Engine by providing protection against disasters and facilitating quick cloning or migration of clusters. The article details the process of configuring a daily backup for a ScyllaDB cluster to a GCS bucket, with minimal impact on system performance, as demonstrated by tests showing negligible effects on latency during backup operations. ScyllaDB continues to improve its storage support and invites feedback from users for future enhancements, offering channels for enterprise and open-source users to communicate their needs.
