The ScyllaDB team is pleased to announce the release of Scylla Operator 1.9.0.
Scylla Operator is an open-source project that helps ScyllaDB Open Source and ScyllaDB Enterprise users run ScyllaDB on Kubernetes. The Scylla Operator manages ScyllaDB clusters deployed to Kubernetes and automates tasks related to operating a ScyllaDB cluster, like installation, vertical and horizontal scaling, as well as rolling upgrades.
Scylla Operator 1.9.0 improves stability and brings a few features. As with all of our releases, any API changes are backward compatible.
Notable changes
- Experimental - Current manual procedure of setting up the local disks has been automated. DaemonSet managed by the Scylla Operator detects local devices, creates a RAID array and formats it to XFS. Check the new API changes in v1alpha1.NodeConfig CRD or updated examples in the repository (#1107)
- Experimental - Scylla Operator can automatically install and manage monitoring stack deployment - both Prometheus and Grafana with our dashboards. It’s available via new v1alpha1.ScyllaDBMonitoring CRD (#1111) (documentation)
- Bootstrap time of Scylla Clusters with TLS enabled has been improved. (#1202)
- Bug causing ScyllaDB version upgrade being stuck on Pod staying in maintenance mode has been fixed (#1267)
- Bug causing crash of Scylla Operator occuring during node replacement has been fixed (#1290)
For more changes and details check out the GitHub release notes.

Upgrade instructions
Upgrading from v1.8.x with kubectl apply doesn’t require any extra action, just take the manifest from v1.9.0 tag and substitute the released image. Using helm requires a mandatory manual step for every release because helm can’t handle CRDs updates. For details, see our upgrade documentation.
