Features for single- and multi-cluster Kubernetes environments

K8ssandra Operator: enhanced capabilities	Initial K8ssandra project
K8ssandra Operator is our most recent offering. In a unified operator, K8ssandra Operator provides an entirely new, solidified set of features for Kubernetes + Cassandra deployments. The features include robust management (cass-operator), API integration (Stargate), anti-entropy repairs (Reaper), and backup/restore (Medusa). Important enhancements include multi-cluster and multi-region support, which enables greater scalability and availability for enterprise apps and data. Single cluster/region deployments are also supported with K8ssandra Operator.	K8ssandra v1.4.x is our project’s initial implementation. It continues to provide a set of separate Helm charts that you can use to configure and deploy Apache Cassandra® into a single-cluster, single-region Kubernetes environment.
For enhanced capabilities, we recommend that you explore K8ssandra Operator local install topic, which focuses on single- or multi-cluster deployments on local dev kind Kubernetes clusters, using the provided make commands, helm, or kustomize.	Start in the K8ssandra v1.4.x install topics, which include the steps for single-cluster installs on local or cloud-provider Kubernetes platforms.

If you’re using K8ssandra v1.4.x, you may continue to do so. Or consider stepping up to the project’s latest implementation with K8ssandra Operator.
