Need Helm chart to bring cassandra cluster as kind K8ssandraCluster for reaper and Medusa.

[kumarakannan]

Need Answers for following.

1. Hard to find documentation or helm chart to bring up cluster as k8ssandraCluster , we do see helm chart only for Datacenter.

We can bring reaper and medusa only with k8ssandraCluster

2.K8ssandra operator CRD is empty from operator Version 1.5.1 and above

https://github.com/k8ssandra/k8ssandra-operator/blob/main/charts/k8ssandra-operator/crds/k8ssandra-operator-crds.yaml

[burmanm]

k8ssandra-operator chart CRD is available in the actual release (it's generated in the release process). If you install the k8ssandra-operator chart, then that CRD is available on your cluster.

@burmanm but can we have helm chart for k8ssandraCluster for medusa?

[burmanm]

I don't understand your question, to me the chart seems to install all the Medusa CRDs correctly?

They're looking for a Helm chart which templates out an instance of the K8ssandraCluster custom resource with Medusa enabled. I'm putting together a sample chart for this purpose and will link it here.
