Caution

You're viewing documentation for an unstable version of ScyllaDB Operator. Switch to the latest stable version.

Automatic cleanup and replacement in case when k8s node is lostΒΆ

In case when your k8s cluster loses one of the nodes due to incident or explicit removal, ScyllaDB Pods may become unschedulable due to PVC node affinity.

When automaticOrphanedNodeCleanup flag is enabled in your ScyllaCluster, ScyllaDB Operator will perform automatic node replacement of a Pod which lost his bound resources.
