Has anyone tried deploying Cassandra (POC) on GCP using kubernetes (not GKE). If so can you please share info on how to get it working?
You could start by looking at IBM's Scalable-Cassandra-deployment-on-Kubernetes.
For seeds discovery you can use a headless service, similar to this Multi-node Cassandra Cluster Made Easy with Kubernetes.
Some difficulties:
You could also check the Cassandra mailing list, since there are people there already using Cassandra over K8s in production.
