<p>I'm trying to deploy a cassandra multinode cluster in minikube, I have followed this tutorial <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/stateful-application/cassandra/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Example: Deploying Cassandra with Stateful Sets</a> and made some modifications, the cluster is up and running and with kubectl I can connect via cqlsh, but I want to connect externally, I tried to expose the service via NodePort and test the connection with datastax studio (192.168.99.100:32554) but no success, also later I want to connect in spring boot, I supose that I have to use the svc name or the node ip.</p>

<pre><code>All host(s) tried for query failed (tried: /192.168.99.100:32554 (com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.TransportException: [/192.168.99.100:32554] Cannot connect))

<p>Just for anyone with this problem:
After reading <a href="https://docs.datastax.com/en/dse/5.1/dse-dev/datastax_enterprise/studio/aboutStudio.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">docs</a> on datastax I realized that DataStax Studio is meant for use with DataStax Enterprise, for local development and the community edition of cassanda I'm using DataStax DevCenter and it works.</p>

<p>For spring boot (Cassandra cluster running on minikube):</p>

<pre><code>spring.data.cassandra.keyspacename=mykeyspacename
spring.data.cassandra.contactpoints=cassandra-0.cassandra.default.svc.cluster.local
spring.data.cassandra.port=9042
spring.data.cassandra.schemaaction=create_if_not_exists
</code></pre>

<p>For DataStax DevCenter(Cassandra cluster running on minikube):</p>

<pre><code>ContactHost = 192.168.99.100
NativeProtocolPort: 300042
