Use Data in Memory for Aerospike on Kubernetes

Overview

A data in memory (DIM) configuration is an easy way to test an Aerospike cluster without having to configure separate storage. For more information on DIM and other storage configurations, see the Aerospike documentation for namespace storage configuration.

Setup

1. Add the following storage-specific configuration to the Aerospike cluster's custom resource (CR) file.

  aerospikeConfig:
    namespaces:
      - name: test
        replication-factor: 2
        storage-engine:
          type: memory
          data-size: 1073741824

Several examples of DIM cluster CR files are in the main Aerospike Kubernetes Operator repository.

2. Save and exit the CR file, then use kubectl to apply the change.

kubectl apply -f aerospike-cluster.yaml
