Aerospike Kubernetes Operator

Run your data and clusters in the cloud with Kubernetes Operator

The Aerospike Kubernetes Operator delivers cloud portability for your data and clusters automating operational best practices for deploying and managing the Aerospike database.

No need to worry about the operations of your Aerospike clusters

The Aerospike Kubernetes Operator lets you efficiently deploy and operate your Aerospike clusters. It automates the management of common tasks such as the configuration, provisioning, scaling, and recovery of Aerospike clusters, thereby reducing the complexity of manual deployment and lifecycle management.

Benefits

Benefits of the Aerospike Kubernetes Operator

Automate database provisioning, scaling and maintenance. Abstract away the complexities of high availability and zero-downtime upgrades with native Kubernetes.

Reduce operational complexity

Automated upgrade/downgrade and other configuration changes.

Deploy clusters using best practices

Easily coordinate a large number of clusters.

Multi-level enterprise security

Provide granular control of security and encryption to meet regulatory compliance.

Certified OpenShift Operator

Aerospike meets Red Hat standards of interoperability, security and life cycle management when deployed on Red Hat OpenShift.

FEATURES

Key features to make operating Aerospike easier

Scale and complexity are inherent with today’s applications. Running the Kubernetes Operator lets you keep up automated maintenance operations and upgrades – it’s built right in.

Cluster provisioning

The Operator takes care of provisioning nodes according to your exact requirements.

Multiple clusters and XDR

Deploy in a single Kubernetes namespace or in multiple Kubernetes namespaces.

Persistent storage volumes

Defined for each node in your cluster to allow pods to be recovered.

Backup and Auto-recovery

Detect node failures and use object store as a backup target.

Automatic scalability

Scale your cluster up or down by changing a single configuration parameter.

Rack awareness

Support for high availability provisioning clusters across availability zones.

Warm restarts

Restart the Aerospike service without deleting pods for cluster changes.

Network and load balancing

Discover Aerospike externally, use host networking, and configure DNS policy.

Transport layer security

Map secrets to each container within a pod. Feed client certificates to the operator.

OLM support

Install, manage and upgrade the Aerospike Kubernetes Operator 2.0 with Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).

RedHat OpenShift container platform

Certified on RHOS container platform.

Helm charts support

Easily set up the Aerospike Kubernetes Operator and deploy Aerospike clusters with Helm charts.

HOW IT WORKS

High-level architecture

With a custom controller written in Go, the Aerospike Kubernetes Operator allows administrators to manage the lifecycle and monitor the state of an Aerospike cluster.

Layered orchestration

A layered approach to orchestration allows the management of Aerospike cluster tasks outside of the Aerospike deployment.

Built for stateful applications

Using Kubernetes StatefulSets, it manages the deployment and scaling of a set of Pods where Aerospike resides.

Cloud-agnostic

Supports Kubernetes 1.16+, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
