🗣️ Talk 2: Day to day with Cassandra: Operator war stories! Carlos Rolo

"Every Cassandra operator has been hit with a couple of weird/complex cases that don't fit the normal expected failure situation. It can be a problem in hardware, software, networking, operator mistakes, or a mix of it all. In this talk I will go through a compilation of such a case and how it was debugged and solved!"
