Apache Cassandra is an open-source, distributed, wide-column store, NoSQL database management system designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure. Cassandra offers robust support for clusters spanning multiple datacenters, with asynchronous masterless replication allowing low latency operations for all clients. This AMI could be used for setting up a single node Cassandra installation or used as a node for setting up a multi-node Cassandra cluster.
