Apache Cassandra 5.0 LTS Ubuntu 24.04

Databases
Apache Cassandra 5.0 on Ubuntu 24.04, a distributed database built for scale and availability.
Overview
Apache Cassandra is a distributed NoSQL database designed for very large volumes of data across many nodes with no single point of failure. Its architecture favours high write throughput and continuous availability, which suits time series, messaging and other always on workloads.
This image deploys a single Cassandra 5.0 node on Ubuntu 24.04 that is configured to join a cluster as you grow.
Why the cloudimg image
The cloudimg image installs Cassandra 5.0 on a hardened Ubuntu 24.04 base and verifies the node comes up healthy before release, with access secured rather than left open by default. The deployment guide covers connecting a client and the path from a single node to a multi node cluster, so you start from a working database. Every deployment includes 24/7 support.
Common uses
- A highly available store for time series and event data
- A write heavy database that scales across many nodes
- A single node you grow into a distributed cluster over time
