Create an elastic runtime environment

Create an elastic runtime environment in Administrator.
    1In Administrator, open the Runtime Environments page.
    2Select New Runtime Environment.
    3Enter the name of the elastic runtime environment.
    4Select Elastic Runtime Environment as the environment type.
    5Optionally, enter a description.
    6Click Next.
    7Enable the Data Integration service.
    Note: You can use only the Data Integration service for an elastic runtime environment.
    8Select the connectors to enable for the elastic runtime environment.
    You can enable specific connectors when you want the elastic runtime environment to be able to communicate with cloud and on-premise applications, platforms, databases, and flat files.
    Disable connectors when you don't want the elastic runtime environment to download the packages associated with the connectors. When you disable a connector, any connection that uses the elastic runtime environment no longer runs.
    For a list of connectors that an elastic runtime environment can use, see Connectors in an elastic runtime environment.
    9Click Create.
    10Configure the elastic runtime environment properties on the Environment Configuration tab.
    11Optionally, configure Secure Agent service properties on the Service Configuration tab.

Environment configuration

Configure the elastic runtime environment properties to determine how Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services runs the Kubernetes cluster and processes data in the elastic runtime environment.
Note: If you make changes to a cluster that's already deployed, you need to redeploy the cluster for the changes to take effect.

Platform

The following table describes the platform properties:
Property
Description
Region
Region in which to create cluster.
Worker Instance Type
Instance type to host the worker nodes.
To verify that the instance type is supported in your AWS setup, refer to the AWS documentation.
Worker Instance Profile
Instance profile to attach to worker nodes.
The name must consist of alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-
Number of Worker Nodes
Number of worker nodes in the cluster. Specify the minimum and maximum number of worker nodes.
Worker Node Idle Timeout
Amount of idle time before a worker node times out.
Enable High Availability
Enables high availability for the elastic runtime environment.
For more information about high availability, refer to the Kubernetes documentation.
Subnets IDs
Subnet names from different availability zones when high availability is enabled. Enter at least two subnets.
Note: Enter the subnet name and not the subnet ID.
EBS Volume Size
Size of the EBS volume to attach to a worker node for temporary storage during data processing.

System storage
