The record

Purpose: ScyllaDB Manager automates database operations such as scheduled backups, repairs, and cluster-status checks.
Multi-cluster management: It can manage multiple ScyllaDB clusters and run cluster-wide tasks in a controlled and predictable way.
Components: The product consists of a Server daemon with a REST API, the sctool command-line client, and an Agent daemon installed on each ScyllaDB node.
Data store: The Manager Server persists its data to a ScyllaDB cluster that can be local or external.
Monitoring: ScyllaDB Monitoring Stack can be added for Manager metrics and alerts, and Manager includes its own monitoring dashboard.
Backup storage: Backup documentation covers Amazon S3, S3-compatible storage, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, and local storage.
AWS security: For Amazon S3 access, the documentation recommends using an IAM role because storing credentials in each agent configuration is less secure.
Encryption: The Manager Agent communicates over HTTPS and supports configurable TLS versions and cipher suites.
Installation platforms: The upgrade guide covers Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9, Debian 11 and 12, and Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04.
System requirements: A minimal Manager server can run with 2 cores and 1GB RAM, while the recommended configuration is 2 vCPUs and 8GB or more of DRAM.
Deployment guidance: ScyllaDB recommends installing Manager Server on a dedicated machine rather than on a ScyllaDB production node.
Upgrade limitation: Upgrading Manager requires upgrading the server, client, and agents, but the entire ScyllaDB cluster does not need to be shut down.
Support: The documentation directs users with questions or problems to the ScyllaDB Manager Slack channel.
Target customers: ScyllaDB positions Manager as a tool to automate maintenance tasks and manage backups across enterprise clusters.
