Hi Jain,

Thanks for your comments about CassKop.

We began the development of Casskop at the beginning of 2018. At this time,
some K8S objects (i.e. statefulsets, operators, …) were still in beta
version and we discovered a few strange behaviours.


We upgraded to K8S 1.12 in mid-2018.

After this upgrade, we did not encounter any real problems.


However, we continue our tests; we have for example a cluster (16 nodes in
3 DC in the same region) which was deployed via CassKop and has been
working correctly for 3 months , and we will continue to observe it during
the next months before hopefully deploying a C* cluster via cassKop in
production.

In parallel, we do other tests of robustness and performances; right now,
we have no real issue to report about K8S for our use case.


I can’t say more right now.


Thanks for your question. I would be more than happy to read other answers.
