Prerequisites for Manually Creating Kyvos Resources for GCP

Applies to: Kyvos Enterprise  Kyvos Cloud (SaaS on AWS) Kyvos AWS Marketplace

Kyvos Azure Marketplace   Kyvos GCP Marketplace Kyvos Single Node Installation (Kyvos SNI)

To create the Kyvos resources for use with GCP, you must ensure that the following prerequisites are available.

1. 32 GB+ of RAM and 4 cores on BI Server and Query Engine nodes.

2. The installation directory should have a minimum of 200 GB available on the Kyvos Manager node.

3. Hard disk of 500 GB or more is required on Query Engine nodes.

4. A user account (non-sudo) with common credentials across all nodes on which cluster needs to be (credentials will be used for Kyvos cluster installation). 

5. To deploy the Kyvos cluster using password-based authentication for service nodes, ensure that the permissions listed here are available on all the VM instances for Linux user deploying the cluster.

6. Create below directories on all nodes with 750 permissions and make Kyvos user owner of these directories.
   ^{/data/kyvos/app
   /data/kyvos/install}

7. Increase the ulimit  of Kyvos user on all nodes using the command as root user:

   echo kyvos hard nofile 524288 >> /etc/security/limits.conf echo kyvos hard nofile 524288 >> /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf echo kyvos soft nofile 524288 >> /etc/security/limits.conf echo kyvos soft nofile 524288 >> /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf

8. Install open-ssl on Kyvos Manager node to enable TLS using the command: apt install openssl 

9. Install zip command on all the nodes using the command: apt install zip -y

10. Install fontconfig command on all the nodes using the command: apt install fontconfig -y

11. Check and ensure Port requirements are met.

12. Create a directory (semantic model local path) on Query Engine nodes with 750 permissions and make Kyvos user owner of these directories.
    For example, /data1/kyvos/app/cube_local_cache
