Operator 0.2.1 out with DNS ping and expanded customizations

We’ve just completed the release of the Infinispan Operator version 0.2.1. In this second minor release, we’ve added the following features:

DNS Cluster Discovery

Cluster nodes now discover each other using DNS ping, which uses name lookups. Each node publishes a headless service which they use to locate each other. Previously, Kubernetes APIs were queried to discover other nodes, but this required administrator rights. DNS ping does not require admin permissions.

Configurable Image

The Infinispan server image used by the operator is now configurable, e.g.

Configurable XML

You can now provide their own custom Infinispan server XML referencing an existing ConfigMap:

Note that this example requires a ConfigMap with the XML file to be created before hand.

Next Steps

We’re already working on version 0.3.0, and in parallel we’ve been working on our first OperatorHub submission. We hope to have some news for you very soon :)

Cheers, Galder
