Running CockroachDB on Kubernetes
How does CockroachDB fit in a cloud-native Kubernetes world?
Managing resilience, scale, and ease of operations in a containerized world is largely what Kubernetes is all about—and one of the reasons platform adoption has doubled since 2017. And as container orchestration continues to become a dominant DevOps paradigm, the ecosystem has continued to mature with better tools for replication, management, and monitoring of our workloads.
And as Kubernetes grows, so does CockroachDB as we’ve recently simplified some of the day 2 operations associated with our distributed database with our Kubernetes Operator. Ultimately, however, our overall goal in the cloud-native community is singular: ease the deployment of stateful workloads on Kubernetes.
