Additional Details

Summary: Ivan Zlatoustov and Michael Hollander review what’s new in ScyllaDB Cloud—end‑to‑end encryption with customer‑managed keys, PCI‑DSS compliance, zstd network compression, richer networking, Bring Your Own Account (BYOA) for GCP accounts, scheduled maintenance, and a live usage dashboard. They preview what’s next: X Cloud with tablet‑driven just‑in‑time scaling, heterogeneous nodes, file‑based streaming, tiered storage, S3 backup/restore, faster boot and scale times, Azure support, private link, single‑zone deploys, flexible billing, self‑service contract control, plus fault‑injection, stress‑test, and web‑shell add‑ons.

Topics discussed

  • What end‑to‑end encryption with customer‑managed keys and PCI‑DSS certification add to cloud security
  • How ZSTD compression, heterogeneous clusters, and transit‑gateway networking slash network cost and simplify topology
  • How bring‑your‑own‑account on Google Cloud adds deployment flexibility
  • How the usage dashboard and user‑set maintenance windows improve operational visibility and control
  • What X Cloud’s tablets, file‑based streaming, and rapid topology changes enable for just‑in‑time scaling
  • Why Azure support, private link, and optional single‑zone clusters broaden cost‑performance trade‑offs
  • How on‑demand, flex‑credit, and reserved pricing plus self‑service contract assignment tailor spend to workload patterns

Takeaways

  • Tablets and file‑based streaming let X Cloud add or retire mixed‑size nodes in minutes, cutting boot time by up to 60 % and scale‑out time by 40 %, while slashing data‑movement overhead 25 × under load.
  • Heterogeneous clusters combined with 90 % disk‑utilization targets keep storage close to actual use, reducing idle capacity and cloud spend without sacrificing throughput.
  • Transit gateways, upcoming private‑link support, and BYO cloud accounts offer clean, secure network paths across AWS, GCP, and soon Azure, easing multi‑cloud or Hub‑and‑Spoke architectures.
  • Real‑time usage dashboards plus self‑service contract moves give engineers immediate cost and resource insight, letting them shift clusters between on‑demand, reserved, or flex‑credit models without tickets.

Top takeaway:  Tablet‑powered X Cloud lets ScyllaDB Cloud keeps capacity tight for low cost low latency performance even at extreme scale.
