Learn k8ssandra in three steps!

  1. Watch the workshop on youtube
  2. Do the practice steps <-- YOU ARE HERE
  3. Ask your questions using discord or forum

Practice

The theory alone is not enough. Follow the practice steps to power up your newly learned skills!

Before starting

  • Your own [local] installation
  • Provided cloud instance (contact Aleks in case of any questions)

Notice that training cloud instances will be available only during the workshop and will be terminated 24 hours later. If you are in our workshop we recommend using the provided cloud instance, you can relax as we have you covered: prerequisites are installed already. If you are doing this on your own using your own computer or your own cloud node, please check the requirements and install the missing tools as explained Here. You need to have a docker-ready machine with at least a 4-core + 8 GB RAM.

⚡ IMPORTANT NOTE: Everywhere in this repo you see <YOURADDRESS> replace with the URL for the instance you were given or a localhost when working locally.
