Using Helm Charts to Deploy ScyllaDB on Kubernetes

Helm Charts have become a popular tool for deploying applications like ScyllaDB on Kubernetes due to their ability to simplify and customize deployments by packaging Kubernetes manifests into a single, easily installed package. With the introduction of ScyllaDB Operator 1.1, users can now utilize three specific Helm Charts—scylla-operator, scylla-manager, and scylla—to streamline the deployment and management of ScyllaDB products. These charts are available in two channels: the "latest" for the newest builds and the "stable" for QA-approved releases, with the latter recommended for production environments. Users have the flexibility to override default parameters during installation to meet specific requirements, facilitating quick and efficient deployments. The process involves installing the ScyllaDB Operator and necessary dependencies, such as Cert Manager, and customizing deployments for different configurations, such as multi-node clusters across various racks. The Helm Chart source code is accessible in the ScyllaDB Operator GitHub repository, providing further customization options and support for users seeking to enhance their ScyllaDB deployments.
