Hi Kasi, thank you for the question!

This section of Temporal Helm Chart README describes using `temporal-cassandra-tool` for initializing Temporal keyspaces in Cassandra.

> **[temporalio/helm-charts](https://github.com/temporalio/helm-charts#bring-your-own-cassandra)**
>
> Helm Chart for deploying Temporal. Contribute to temporalio/helm-charts development by creating an account on GitHub.

And here is a fragment of how our CI/CD pipelines do this, via the `admin-tools` container running in the instance’s kubernetes cluster.

```
     # Setup keyspaces.
     kubectl exec -it services/temporaltest-admintools -- bash -c "CASSANDRA_HOST=cassandra.default.svc.cluster.local CASSANDRA_PORT=9042 temporal-cassandra-tool create-Keyspace -k temporal"
     kubectl exec -it services/temporaltest-admintools -- bash -c "CASSANDRA_HOST=cassandra.default.svc.cluster.local CASSANDRA_PORT=9042 CASSANDRA_KEYSPACE=temporal temporal-cassandra-tool setup-schema -v 0.0"
     kubectl exec -it services/temporaltest-admintools -- bash -c "CASSANDRA_HOST=cassandra.default.svc.cluster.local CASSANDRA_PORT=9042 CASSANDRA_KEYSPACE=temporal ./temporal-cassandra-tool update -schema-dir /etc/temporal/schema/cassandra/temporal/versioned"
     kubectl exec -it services/temporaltest-admintools -- bash -c "CASSANDRA_HOST=cassandra.default.svc.cluster.local CASSANDRA_PORT=9042 temporal-cassandra-tool create-Keyspace -k temporal_visibility"
     kubectl exec -it services/temporaltest-admintools -- bash -c "CASSANDRA_HOST=cassandra.default.svc.cluster.local CASSANDRA_PORT=9042 CASSANDRA_KEYSPACE=temporal_visibility ./temporal-cassandra-tool setup-schema -v 0.0"
     kubectl exec -it services/temporaltest-admintools -- bash -c "CASSANDRA_HOST=cassandra.default.svc.cluster.local CASSANDRA_PORT=9042 CASSANDRA_KEYSPACE=temporal_visibility ./temporal-cassandra-tool update -schema-dir /etc/temporal/schema/cassandra/visibility/versioned"

```

I hope this helps!

Thank you,  
Mark.
