The ScyllaDB team is pleased to announce the release of ScyllaDB Operator 1.2.
ScyllaDB Operator is an open source project which helps users of ScyllaDB Open Source and ScyllaDB Enterprise run ScyllaDB on Kubernetes. The ScyllaDB operator manages ScyllaDB clusters deployed to Kubernetes and automates tasks related to operating a ScyllaDB cluster, like installation, scale out and downscale, as well as rolling upgrades.
ScyllaDB Operator 1.2 improves the operator stability, high availability, end to end testing, and integration with the K8s ecosystem, like services meshes. More below.

ScyllaDB Operator 1.2 brings a lot of improvements, bug fixes, and support for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) platform.
The most important changes are:
- ScyllaDB Operator and Manager Controller are now deployed as Deployments with 2 replicas to be highly available (#498)
- Adjust probes for stability and better response time (#486)
- Add managed Pod Disruption Budget (#438)
- Automate sidecar image upgrade (#187)
- Allow service meshes, like Istio, to connect to ScyllaDB, by listening on all interfaces. This allows service, like service meshes, to redirect the traffic to ScyllaDB. (#529)
