+                    <hr>
+                    <p>The Cassandra Kubernetes SIG is excited to share that there has been coalescence around the <a href="https://github.com/datastax/cass-operator" target="_blank">Cass Operator</a> project as the community-based operator.</p>
+
+                    <p>It is no understatement to say that moving towards a single operator for the Apache Cassandra community has been a technical challenge. There are several <a href="https://cassandra.apache.org/blog/2020/08/14/cassandra-and-kubernetes-sig-update.html" target="_blank">Kubernetes operator projects for Cassandra</a>, and there were at least five different ways to go about this. Initially, it seemed we were going to create a standard and build a fresh operator from scrat [...]
+
+                    <p>For the next stage, the SIG is focused on increasing Cass Operator’s community adoption with the ultimate goal of bringing the project into the ASF.</p>
+
+                    <h3>Why Cass-Operator?</h3>
+
+                    <p>Several features of the Cass-Operator project, open-sourced by DataStax, made it the prime candidate for the other projects to rally around. (You can read about the five major Kubernetes Operators for Cassandra in the last <a target="_blank" href="https://cassandra.apache.org/blog/2020/08/14/cassandra-and-kubernetes-sig-update.html">Cassandra SIG update</a>.)</p>
+
+                    <figure>
+                    	<img src="/img/blog-post-cassandra-and-kubernetes-sig-update/cass-operator-diagram.png" alt="High Level Architecture of the Cass Operator in Kubernetes">
+                    	<figcaption>High Level Architecture of the Cass Operator in Kubernetes</figcaption>
+                    </figure>
+
+                    <p>Cass-Operator has major features for datacenter provisioning and operations and has Apache Cassandra’s best practices baked into the automations:</p>
+
+                    <ol>
+                    	<li><b>Bootstraps nodes appropriately</b> - this feature is important because when Cassandra starts up it needs to start the initial seeds first, in each rack, in a uniform manner.</li>
+                    	<li><b>Scales up and scales down clusters gracefully</b> - nodes are intelligently scaled up and down one at a time across racks so that replicas of data are uniformly distributed.</li>
+                    	<li><b>Automated node recovery processes</b> - basic operations such as restart, replace node, or replace an instance are all automated.</li>
+                    	<li><b>Basic topology</b> - this feature makes multi-DC / multi-rack clusters fairly easy to create.</li>
+                    	<li><b>Advanced topology</b> - Advanced networking at the Kubernetes layer makes multi-region / multi-K8s clusters possible with CNIs such as Cilium or externally via traditional networking tools.</li>
+                    	<li><b>Customizable containers</b> - applying containerization best practice, this enables human operators to merge containers they have built with what’s offered in the cass-operator so that they don’t have to deal with secrets/volumes.</li>
+                    </ol>
+                    
+                    <figure>

+                    </figure>
+
+                    <h3>Cass-Operator Differentiators</h3>
+
+                    <p>Cass-Operator has many general features that distinguish it even before it is merged with the powerful features that CassKop will supply:</p>
+
+                    <ol>
+                    	<li>The operator leverages a number of existing open source tools in the OSS ecosystem and commercial components that have been open-sourced to avoid issues with vendor lock-in:</li>
+                    		<ol type="a">
+                    		<li>Open-sourced Cass Config Builder extracted from DataStax OpsCenter Life Cycle Manager.</li>
+                    		<li>Open-sourced Management API for Apache Cassandra (MAAC).</li>
+                    		<li>Open-sourced Metrics Collector for Apache Cassandra (MCAC).</li>
+                    		<li>Open-sourced SRE tools such as Prometheus and Grafana Operator.</li>
+                    		</ol>
+                    	<li>PodTemplateSpec enables operators to super-customize existing pods.</li>
+                    	<li>Cass-Operator implements advanced networking and manages the node ports and host networks.</li>
+                    	<li>Management API mTLS support provides simple security.</li>
+                    	<li>Automated generation of keystore and truststore for internode and client to node TLS.</li>
+                    	<li>Automated superuser account configuration according to best practices.</li>
+                    	<li>NetworkTopologyStrategy is automatically applied with appropriate replication factor (RF) for system keyspaces.</li>
+                    	<li>Webhook validation ensures that invalid changes are rejected with a helpful message.</li>
+                    	<li>Rolling cluster updates which allow for changes related to a change in binary (C* upgrade), a change in configuration, and canary deployments - single rack application of changes for validation before broader deployment.</li>
+                    	<li>Operator certification and thorough testing on several platforms, including Azure AKS, Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Red Hat OpenShift, and VMWare Tanzu Kubernetes.</li>
+                    	<li>Well documented cloud storage classes, ingress solutions and reference Implementations with an example application using the Java driver.</li>
+                    	<li>Super-useful cluster-level stop / resume, which stops all running instances while keeping persistent storage. This feature allows for scaling compute down to zero, and bringing the cluster back up follows the expected Cassandra startup processes.</li>
+                	</ol>
+
+                	 <h3>CassKop operator features that are being merged</h3>
+
+                	 <p>There are features in the CassKop operator, open-sourced by Orange Telecom, which are being merged/committed into the CassOperator project:</p>
+
+                	 <ol>
+                	 	<li>Node labeling to map any internal architecture, including network-specific labels to help with multi-datacenter setup.</li>
+                	 	<li>Volumes and sidecar management (which could be linked to PodTemplateSpec).</li>
+                	 	<li>Backup & Restore (Note: the CassKop project ruled out using <a href="https://velero.io/" target="_blank">Velero</a>, and used <a href="https://github.com/instaclustr/esop" target="_blank">Instaclustr esop</a> but <a href="https://github.com/thelastpickle/cassandra-medusa" target="_blank">Medusa</a> could work too).</li>
+                	 	<li>Kubectl plugin integration, which is useful on the ops side without an admin UI.</li>
+                	 	<li>MultiCassKop evolution to drive multiple Cass-Operators clusters instead of multiple CassKops clusters (Note: This may remain Orange internal if too specific)</li>
+                	 </ol>
+
+                	 As you can see, there’s a lot of great things being developed for the Apache Cassandra project so that relates well with the Kubernetes world. We’ll also have a roadmap post soon. Join us for the next Cassandra Kubernetes SIG meeting or say hi on the <a href="https://the-asf.slack.com" target="_blank">Apache Software Foundation’s Slack team</a> by joining the <a href="https://app.slack.com/client/T4S1WH2J3/C014SSUAL9E" target="_blank">#cassandra-kubernetes</a> channel.</p>
