ScyllaDB Docs Scylla Operator Resources Overview

Caution

You're viewing documentation for a previous version of Scylla Operator. Switch to the latest stable version.

Overview¶

There are generally 2 types of resources in Kubernetes: namespaced and cluster-scoped resources.

Tip

You can discover the available resources (for the installed version in your cluster) by running

kubectl api-resources --api-group=scylla.scylladb.com

and explore their schema using

kubectl explain --api-version='scylla.scylladb.com/v1alpha1' NodeConfig.spec

Namespaced resources¶

ScyllaClusters

ScyllaCluster defines a ScyllaDB datacenter and manages the racks within.

ScyllaDBMonitorings

ScyllaDBMonitoring defines and manages a ScyllaDB monitoring stack.

Cluster scoped resources¶

Cluster scoped resources declare the state for the whole cluster or control something at the cluster level which isn’t multitenant. Therefore, working with these resources requires elevated privileges.

Generally, there can be multiple instances of these resources but for some of them, like for ScyllaOperatorConfigs, it only makes sense to have one instance. We call them singletons and the single instance is named cluster.

NodeConfigs

NodeConfig manages setup and tuning for a set of Kubernetes nodes.

ScyllaOperatorConfigs

ScyllaOperatorConfig configures the Scylla Operator deployment and reports the status.
