Connections
Informatica requires connections to the non-native environment.
Create and managed the following types of connections within the Administrator tool:
- Cluster connection
- The connection to the non-native cluster environment. You can create a Hadoop or Databricks cluster connection. The cluster connection must contain a reference either to a cloud provisioning connection or to a cluster configuration.
- Cloud provisioning connection
- A type of connection that enables the Data Integration Service to contact and create resources on the cloud platform. Create a cloud provisioning configuration when you configure a cluster workflow. You create a cluster workflow to automate the creation of clusters and workflow tasks on an Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Azure Databricks cloud platform.
- Cluster configuration
- An object in the domain that contains configuration information about the compute cluster. The cluster configuration enables the Data Integration Service to push mapping logic to the non-native environment. Import configuration properties from the compute cluster to create a cluster configuration. You can import directly from the cluster or from an archive file. When you create the cluster configuration, you can also choose to create related connections.
