Cloud Provisioning Configuration
Cloud Provisioning Configuration Overview
A cloud provisioning configuration is an object in the domain that contains information about the cloud platform. The cloud provisioning configuration gives the Data Integration Service the information it needs to create a cluster 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 or Azure cloud platform.
The Data Integration Service uses the information in the cloud provisioning configuration to establish a relationship between the workflow Create Cluster task and the cloud platform, and to run tasks on the cluster that the workflow creates.
The Hadoop connection that the cluster workflow uses contains a reference to the cloud provisioning configuration.
Consider the following high-level process for using the cloud provisioning connection:
- 1. Verify prerequisites.
- 2. Create the cloud provisioning configuration.
- 3. Create a Hadoop connection for the workflow.
After you create the cloud provisioning configuration and the Hadoop connection, a developer uses the Developer tool to create, deploy, and run a cluster workflow.
