This document summarizes a presentation by Vinay Chella and Joey Lynch from Netflix on building and running cloud native Cassandra. They outline some of Cassandra's limitations for cloud deployments including development friction, packaging issues, cluster startup difficulties, and lack of scaling tools. Their proposals aim to address these by improving documentation, automating builds/tests, packaging for containers/packages, adding cluster control planes, and integrating metrics/monitoring. The speakers believe targeted changes can help Cassandra better support cloud-native principles of flexibility, scalability, and reliability.
