Setup Cassandra Cluster using Ansible and Vagrant


If you want to provision a test Apache Cassandra cluster for yourself, I recently created an automated solution using Vagrant and Ansible

Git clone the repository https://github.com/madhur/vagrant-cassandra-ansible and use vagrant up command to bring up the five Ubuntu 18.0 nodes.

This is a fork of original https://github.com/apkan/vagrant-cassandra-ansible, however it had couple of issues:

  • It was using old version of Ubuntu which did not had systemd but instead used upstart
  • Had 3 node cluster
