The Scylla team is pleased to announce the release of Scylla Operator 1.5.
Scylla Operator is an open-source project that helps Scylla Open Source and Scylla Enterprise users run Scylla on Kubernetes. The Scylla operator manages Scylla clusters deployed to Kubernetes and automates tasks related to operating a Scylla cluster, like installation, scale out and downscale, as well as rolling upgrades.
Scylla Operator 1.5 improves stability and brings a few features. As with all of our releases, any API changes are backward compatible.
