Kyvos Cluster Deployment with Load Balancer 

The checkbox is selected by default if Web Portal high availability is enabled, or if a non-peered network exists between Kyvos and Databricks, the Kyvos cluster will be deployed with a load balancer.

NOTE: If Web Portal high availability is not enabled, or if a peered network exists between Kyvos and Databricks, the Kyvos cluster will not be deployed with a load balancer. In this case, the checkbox is selected, but you can also clear it as per the requirement. 

Use Custom Image

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 information for Gallery Name, Gallery Image Definition Name, and Gallery Image Version Name at the time of deploying the cluster through the ARM template.

NOTE:

• To use your custom image, templates named bi_custom.json, qe_custom.json, and km_custom.json must exist at $KYVOS_MANAGER_HOME/cloud/azure/templates/ location.

• For using Custom Image, Kyvos supports using only customer-provided Images for CentOS 7, RHEL 7, and RHEL 8.   

  • Python 2 is required as a prerequisite for CentOS 7 and RedHat 7 Images  

  • Python 3 is required as a prerequisite for RedHat 8 AMIs and CentOS 8 Images  

• To ensure proper functionality of Kyvos Manager and Kyvos, all required operating system commands must be present in the Custom Image machine.
  See the  OS commands  section for more details.

Select the authentication type for the Databricks cluster from:

• AAD Token Using Managed Identity: This option is supported only with premium workspace.

• Personal Access Token

NOTE: Post deployment of the cluster, you can change the Databricks Authentication type from the Databricks page on Kyvos Manager.

• W hen switching from AAD to PAT, you need to provide personal access token, which is saved as a secret in your Azure Key Vault and is read from there for authentication purposes. For this:

  • Go to Key Vault Secret.
