## Scylla Operator

![image](logo.svg)

Scylla Operator project helps users to run ScyllaDB on Kubernetes.
It extends the Kubernetes APIs using [CustomResourceDefinitions(CRDs)](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/extend-kubernetes/custom-resources/custom-resource-definitions/) and runs controllers that reconcile the desired state declared  using these APIs.

Scylla Operator works with both ScyllaDB Open Source and ScyllaDB Enterprise. By default, our examples use ScyllaDB Open Source. To make the switch to ScyllaDB Enterprise, you only have to [change the ScyllaCluster image repository](https://operator.docs.scylladb.com/v1.18/resources/scyllaclusters/basics.md#scyllacluster-enterprise) and [adjust the ScyllaDB utils image using ScyllaOperatorConfig](https://operator.docs.scylladb.com/v1.18/resources/scyllaoperatorconfigs.md#tuning-with-scylladb-enterprise).
