Creating Kyvos resources for AWS automated deployment with EMR
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 Kyvos resources for creating an AWS CloudFormation template for use in automated deployment, perform the following steps.
Log onto your AWS Console, and create an EC2 instance for the Kyvos Manager.
On this EC2 instance, copy or download the Kyvos installation setup shared by Kyvos Support.
Start the Kyvos Manager and access it using your credentials.
Alternatively, access the installation URL, such as:
http://clusterIP:port/kyvosmanager/kyvos-installer/aws
If you do not have the URL and/or credentials, contact Kyvos support. Alternatively, use the default credentials as admin|admin. Kyvos Manager forces password change on first-time login.To create resources for installing Kyvos services like BI Server and Query Engine on the AWS environment, select the I want to create resources option on the Kyvos Installer page.
Click Create Resources. This displays the Create Resources dialog box.
Here, select the services for which you want to create resources and provide information as:
Resources will be created only for selected services. If you have pre-created resources for any of the services, you can uncheck them and configure them while installing Kyvos.
Parameter/Field | Remarks/Description |
---|---|
Use Graviton Instances | Select the checkbox to deploy the Kyvos Services (like BI Server, Query Engine, Kyvos Manager, EMR Master, and Core nodes) on Graviton instances. NOTE: For Kyvos instances, Graviton CPU is supported with RDS repository service only. |
EC2 instance(s) for BI Server | Specify the following:
|
EC2 instance(s) for Query Engine | Specify the following:
NOTE: Installation disk size must be 100 GB and the cuboid replication disk size must be in the multiplier of 50 or 100.  |
Web Portal High Availability  | Select to enable web portal high availability, and specify the following:
|
EC2 instance for Kyvos Manager | The checkbox is selected by default for the automated deployment and an EC2 instance is launched for the Kyvos Manager.
Select one of the following repository types from the Repository list.
|
External Repository for Kyvos |
|
Output S3 Storage | Select this option to create an S3 storage bucket for Kyvos output. Bucket Name Prefix |
Compute Cluster Type | Select one of the following options to select a compute cluster type engine to process semantic model.
|
EMR Cluster | Select this option to define configurations for the EMR cluster.
NOTE: In case you do not configure the EMR here, you can use a Shared EMR. In this case, you need to add a common Security Group for master and core in the inbound rule of the Security Group of the BI Server. |
Use Graviton Instances for EMR cluster | The checkbox is selected by default, indicating that the EMR cluster is deployed with Graviton instances.  To deploy the EMR cluster with non-Graviton instances, you must clear the checkbox. After selecting this checkbox, the Master Node Instance Type and the Core Node Instance Type are selected by default.  |
Use Custom Image (please see the note below)    | Select this option to use a custom image of your environment for deploying the Kyvos cluster. Custom images can be used to bootstrap deployment tasks like preloading applications, application configurations, and other configurations.   |
You will have to provide the following information when deploying the cluster through CloudFormation.
NOTE: To use your custom image, templates named oe _custom.json, qe_custom.json,   km_custom.json, and base_custom.json must be available at the $KYVOS_MANAGER_HOME/cloud/ aws /templates/ location. | |
Deploy with enhanced security | Enhanced security ensures passwords are stored in the AWS Secrets Manager and not in the Kyvos configuration files. |
Credit Based Deployment | Select this checkbox to create or support the credit-based license in Kyvos. In the Credit Management Resouces list, select one of the following:Â
|
EMR and RDS Versions  | Select Kyvos Certified Versions Only to list EMR and RDS versions supported by Kyvos . Else, select the All versions option to view all the versions. These versions are displayed on the AWS CFT Console at the time of cluster deployment. |
Note
For using Custom Image, Kyvos supports using only customer-provided AMIs for CentOS 7, RHEL 7 and 8, and Amazon Linux 2 with x86 or ARM-based Graviton architecture type.
Python 2 is required as a prerequisite for CentOS 7 and RedHat 7 AMIs Â
Python 3 is required as a prerequisite for RedHat 8Â AMIs and CentOS 8 AMIs
All operating system commands must be present in the Custom Image machine. See the OS commands section for more details.
Click Next. The Review and Download Template dialog box is displayed with details of all the settings that you selected.
Review all the settings, and click the Back button if you want to make any changes.
To continue, click the Download Template button to download the CloudFormation template and upload this template to your AWS environment to create resources.
Now deploy the Kyvos cluster to create the resources. Once the resources are ready, go to the Installer page to continue installation using the I have all the resources option.
