The ScyllaDB team is pleased to announce the release of Scylla Operator 1.8.0.
ScyllaDB Operator is an open-source project that helps ScyllaDB Open Source and ScyllaDB Enterprise users run ScyllaDB on Kubernetes. ScyllaDB Operator manages ScyllaDB clusters deployed to Kubernetes and automates tasks related to operating a ScyllaDB cluster, like installation, scale out and downscale, as well as rolling upgrades.
ScyllaDB Operator 1.8.0 improves stability and brings a few features. As with all of our releases, any API changes are backwards compatible.
Notable changes
- Experimental - Ingress objects are now reconciled for each ScyllaCluster node (#993)
- Experimental - Managed TLS Certificates allowing users to enable client-node encryption (#1021)
- ScyllaCluster status has been extended with Conditions improving observability (#1070)
- PodDisruptionBudgets reconciled by the Operator are using v1 API version which fixes support for newer Kubernetes version, where v1beta1 version was removed. (#1005)
- Custom annotations added by users on managed ServiceAccount object are not removed on reconciliation (#933)
- Fixed the decommission procedure for drained node (#967)
- Idle connections to ScyllaDB API are closed after Operator no longer needs them, fixing OOM issues happening months after ScyllaCluster creation (#1017)
- Fixed repository paths to allow vendoring of our source code (#1098)

Upgrade instructions
Upgrading from v1.7.x with kubectl apply doesn’t require any extra action, just take the manifest from v1.8.0 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.
