Hey everyone! If you've already seen the news that 5.0 RC-1 is out, you might be wondering how you can kick the tires without investing a ton of time into changing your tooling around. I've got you covered :)
I've just released an update to easy-cass-lab [1], my tooling to spin up Cassandra environments in AWS, with support for 5.0 RC1, and I've also published a blog post [2] walking you through the steps to create a cluster. It only takes a few minutes to get going. The success of this release depends entirely on the community - so anything you can do to help make it as rock solid as possible makes us all better off. Please report any bugs in 5.0 you find to JIRA [3]. Let's make this the best release in the history of the project! Feel free to reach out with questions or feedback. Thanks, Jon [1] https://github.com/rustyrazorblade/easy-cass-lab [2] https://rustyrazorblade.com/post/2024/2024-07-23-easy-cass-lab-cass5-rc1/ [3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/CASSANDRA/
