I was going through the steps of deploying scyllaDB on kubernetes and I successfully deployed it on k8s. Now, I want to automate the creation of keyspaces in database (if not possible, create some presumed keyspaces. Is there any way that It can be done while deploying database on k8s?

At this point you should follow the same steps you’d use with a regular ScyllaDB deployment, we don’t automate keyspace creation any further.

You’ll find `kubectl exec` helpful for running cqlsh on your ScyllaDB nodes.
