Kyvos Deployment on Google Cloud Platform

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

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

Note

Using Root user privileges, move or rename the file /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf to another location in the case of RHEL 8-based Operating System.
GCP Dataproc is only certified with non-preemptible VM instances.
To deploy Kyvos in the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment, you must first fulfill all the prerequisites.
Kyvos supports creating a service account using script files. Refer to Creating Kyvos Resources for GCP using Script for more information.
Download the GCP Installation Files folder and keep the requisite files handy for installation and deployment.
You can use the Automated deployment method to create all the resources and services required for installing and deploying the Kyvos cluster in your GCP environment.

Installing Kyvos on GCP

You can deploy Kyvos clusters on GCP using any of the following methods.

Automated deployment using the script: In this method, you can quickly create resources using an automated script.
NOTE: You must not configure the Kyvos GCP cluster on Kyvos Manager when creating resources through the script.
Wizard-based deployment:
1. Manual resource creation: In this method, you need to perform the following steps:
  1. Create Instance for Kyvos BI Server, Query Engines, and Kyvos Manager
  2. Create Dataproc (compute cluster)
2. Optionally, you can choose to use your existing resources at the time of configuring the Kyvos cluster through Kyvos Manager.

Once you have created the resources:

You can validate if the resources meet the requirements for installing Kyvos on the Google cloud platform.
Configure the Kyvos GCP cluster on Kyvos Manager

To use wizard-based deployment, edit the kyvos-template.yaml file provided in the Installation Files folder, and update the value kmCount to 0
Optionally, to enable TLS on your installation, make sure OpenSSL is available on Kyvos Manager and Kyvos BI server nodes.
You can install OpenSSL on Kyvos Manager and Kyvos BI server machines using the following command:

yum install openssl

Tip

Post-deployment, you can add a new data disk on Query Engines. See the Resources Configuration section for more details.
