The ShardingSphere-on-Cloud project is a collection of tools and best practices to take Apache ShardingSphere into the cloud. It includes automated deployment scripts to virtual machines in AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Alibaba Cloud and other cloud environments such as CloudFormation Stack templates, and Terraform one click deployment scripts.

It also includes Helm Charts, Operators, automatic horizontal scaling and other tools in the Kubernetes cloud native environment, as well as high availability, observability, security compliance and other aspects.

The ShardingSphere Operator uses predefined CustomResourceDefinitions for describing an Apache ShardingSphere Deployment on Kubernetes.

With the help of ShardingSphere-Operator you can create a ShardingSphere-Proxy cluster including the ZooKeeper cluster in minutes.

For installation of SharingSphere-Operator, you will need a Kubernetes cluster. No matter it is a managed Kubernetes service like AWS EKS or self-hosted Kubernetes, or just a mini-kube, you can easily install ShardingSphere-Operator with respective ShardingSphere Operator Helm Charts, and apply the manifests in ShardingSphere Operator Cluster Helm Charts describing the expected Apache ShardingSphere deployment. Kubernetes 1.18+ is recommended.
