The Couchbase Autonomous Operator is a Kubernetes-native tool designed to automate the deployment, management, and scaling of Couchbase Autonomous Operator (formerly known as Couchbase Server) clusters within a Kubernetes environment. It leverages Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to define and manage various Couchbase resources, including clusters, nodes, backups, and restores.

• **Kubernetes Custom Resources:** Employs familiar Kubernetes manifests to configure and deploy Couchbase clusters.
• **Simplified Deployment Configuration:** Essential Couchbase configurations like versions, node types, storage, security settings, and services are defined directly within Kubernetes resources.
• **Automated Cluster Management:** Facilitates the creation, scaling, upgrading, and management of Couchbase clusters, including automated failover and recovery.
• **High Availability:** Ensures high availability by managing multiple Couchbase nodes within a cluster.
• **Backup and Restore:** Supports automated and on-demand backups and restores of Couchbase data.
• **Security:** Enforces security measures such as TLS encryption, role-based access control (RBAC), and audit logging to protect data.
• **Multi-Dimensional Scaling:** Enables independent scaling of different Couchbase services (data, index, query, search) based on workload requirements.

• **Streamlined Couchbase Deployment:** Simplifies the process of setting up and managing Couchbase in Kubernetes.
• **Scalability:** Effortlessly scales Couchbase clusters to accommodate growing data volumes and workloads.
• **High Availability:** Configures Couchbase clusters for high availability, ensuring data durability and accessibility.
• **Open Source:** The Couchbase Autonomous Operator is an open-source project under the Apache 2.0 License.

• **Installation:** Install the Couchbase Autonomous Operator using Helm or by directly applying the necessary manifests to your Kubernetes cluster.
• **Configuration:** Define Couchbase clusters, nodes, backups, and other related resources using Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).
• **Management:** The Couchbase Autonomous Operator will automatically deploy and manage your Couchbase clusters based on your configurations.
