Kube-ArangoDB, ArangoDB’s Kubernetes Operator first released two years ago and as of today is operating many ArangoDB production clusters (including ArangoDB’s Managed Service Oasis). With many exciting features we felt kube-arango really deserves to be released as 1.0.
ArangoDB is joining CNCF to continue its focus on providing a scalable native multi-model database, supporting Graph, Document, and Key-Value data models in the Cloud Native ecosystem.
ArangoDB is a scalable multi-model model database. What does that mean?
You might have already encountered different NoSQL databases specialized for different data models e.g., graph or document databases. However most real-life use-cases actually require a combination of different data models like Single View of Everything, Machine Learning or even Case Management projects to name but a few.
In such scenarios, single data model databases typically require merging data from different databases and often even reimplementing some database logic in the application layer as well as the effort to operate multiple database in a production environment.
Running distributed databases on-prem or in the cloud is always a challenge. Over the past years, we have invested a lot to make cluster deployments as simple as possible, both on traditional (virtual) machines (using the ArangoDB Starter) as well as on modern orchestration systems such as Kubernetes (using Kube-ArangoDB).
However, as long as teams have to run databases themselves, the burden of deploying, securing, monitoring, maintaining & upgrading can only be reduced to a certain extent but not avoided.
For this reason, we built ArangoDB Oasis.

It has been a few months since we first released the Kubernetes operator for ArangoDB and started to brag about it. Since then, quite a few things have happened.
For example, we have done a lot of testing, fixed bugs, and by now the operator is declared to be production ready for three popular public Kubernetes offerings, namely Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Pivotal Kubernetes Service (PKS) (see here for the current state of affairs).

At ArangoDB we’ve got many requests for running our database on Kubernetes. This makes complete sense since Kubernetes is a highly popular system for deploying, scaling and managing containerized applications.
Running any stateful application on Kubernetes is a bit more involved than running a stateless application, because of the storage requirements and potentially other requirements such as static network addresses. Running a database on Kubernetes combines all the challenges of running a stateful application, combined with a quest for optimal performance.
This article explains what is needed to run ArangoDB on Kubernetes and what we’re doing to make it a lot easier.
