https://www.datastax.com/ After years of iterations and improvements, deploying a https://dtsx.io/3reqiCq (DSE) cluster is a pretty painless process. Of course, there’s also ensuring your external clients can access certain ports while not being able to access others.

For the base case, we wanted a three-node DSE cluster plus a small Kubernetes cluster to run the ancillary services for the database.

With this new architecture, infrastructure could be provisioned beforehand because we no longer needed to create a new Kubernetes cluster for each database, which reduced the create database process to a single workflow.

We then used this same tool to bootstrap our own efforts in creating push-button deployments of DSE clusters to the cloud.
