The ScyllaDB team is pleased to announce the release of Scylla Operator 1.14.0.
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 1.14.0 improves stability and brings new features. As with all of our releases, all API changes are backward compatible.
Notable changes
- Operator startup logic has been split from the scylla container into a dedicated sidecar for better separation, isolation, design and latency. (#1934)
- Perftune jobs now use a dedicated ServiceAccount that allows fine grained permission adjustments, if needed. (#1971)
- IP based node replace procedure has been removed because all supported ScyllaDB versions no longer need it. (#2027)
- Scylla Manager agent sidecar now has a readiness probe to better manifest its state. (#2074)
- ScyllaOperatorConfig now reports status that shows the images in use, even if default. (#2081)
- Scyllacluster.spec.cpuset field has been deprecated. This is no longer needed and handled automatically. (#2088)
- Important bug fixes and dependency updates

Upgrade instructions
Upgrading from v1.13.x with kubectl apply doesn’t require any extra action, just take the manifest from v1.14.0 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.
