How to deploy my Cassandra cluster with Kubernetes

4/15/2019

I have tried to install Cassandra on my Kubernetes cluster. After executing the commands

kubectl apply -f Cassandra-service.yaml

and

kubectl apply -f cassandra-statefulset.yaml

I have no errors, but the three Cassandras pods are not setting up.

When I execute

kubectl get pods -o wide

the result is that a pod called Cassandra-0 is not ready. I expected that the Cassandra pods would be already set up.

This is my cassandra-statefulset.yaml file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/website/master/content/en/examples/application/cassandra/cassandra-statefulset.yaml

I expect there to be three Cassandra pods but there is only one in the pending state:

Here is the result of the previous command:

Maybe there are insufficient resources on minikube config so try to delete, reconfigure and start minikube, then deploy cassandra again.

Note: minikube delete will delete all the k8s cluster configured, be caferul.

minikube delete
minikube config set cpus 4
minikube config set memory 5120
minikube start
kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/application/cassandra/cassandra-service.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/application/cassandra/cassandra-statefulset.yaml

What Kubernetes environment do you use? Do you use Minikube?

It seems that cluster cannot create PersistentVolumeClaim. Maybe StorageClass configuration doesn't suit your cluster.

Also example Cassandra deployment contains:

        resources:
          limits:
            cpu: "500m"
            memory: 1Gi
          requests:
            cpu: "500m"
            memory: 1Gi

So, your cluster should has free 1.5cpu and ~3Gb.

On my opinion, it's better and easier to configure Helm charts for infrastructure deployments, for example - https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/master/bitnami/cassandra
