AWS Deployment Scenarios
The following are the basic AWS deployment scenarios.
| Deployment Scenario | Alteryx node installation | Base Storage Layer | Storage - S3 | Storage - Redshift | Cluster | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition on-premises install with S3 read access | On-premises | HDFS | read only | Not supported | Hadoop | When HDFS is the base storage layer, the only accessible AWS resources is read-only access to S3. |
Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition AWS install with S3 read access | EC2 | HDFS | read only | Not supported | Hadoop | When HDFS is the base storage layer, the only accessible AWS resources is read-only access to S3. |
Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition AWS install with S3 read/write access | EC2 | S3 | read/write | read/write | Hadoop or EMR | |
Data Preparation for Amazon Redshift and S3 AWS install through Amazon Marketplace | EC2 | S3 | read/write | read/write | None | Data Preparation for Amazon Redshift and S3 does not support integration with any running environment clusters. All job execution occurs on the Alteryx Server. This scenario is suitable for smaller user groups and data volumes. |
Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition AWS install through Amazon Marketplace with integration to EMR cluster | EC2 | S3 | read/write | read/write | EMR | This deployment scenario integrates by default with an EMR cluster. It does not support integration with a Hadoop cluster. |
| Microsoft Azure | Integration with AWS-based resources is not supported. See Install from Azure Marketplace. |
Legend and Notes:
| Column | Notes |
|---|---|
| Deployment Scenario | Description of the AWS-connected deployment |
Alteryx node installation | Location where the Alteryx node is installed in this scenario. All AWS installations are installed on EC2 instances. |
| Base Storage Layer | When the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform is first installed, the base storage layer must be set. NOTE: In marketplace deployments, the base storage layer is set for you. After you have begun using the product, you cannot change the base storage layer. NOTE: Read/write access to AWS-based resources requires that S3 be set as the base storage layer. |
| Storage - S3 | Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition supports read access to S3 when the base storage layer is set to HDFS. For read/write access to S3, the base storage layer must be set to S3. |
| Storage - Redshift | For access to Redshift, the base storage layer must be set to S3. |
| Cluster | List of cluster types that are supported for integration and job execution at scale.

AWS Installations
Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition on EC2 Instance
When the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform is installed on AWS, it is deployed on an EC2 instance. Through the EC2 console, there are a few key parameters that must be specified.
NOTE: After you have created the instance, you should retain the instanceId from the console, which must be applied to the configuration in the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform.
For more information, see Install from Amazon Marketplace.
Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition on Amazon Marketplace (AMI)
Through the Amazon Marketplace, you can license and deploy an AMI of Data Preparation for Amazon Redshift and S3, a self-contained version of Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition that does not require integration with a clustered running environment. All job execution happens within the AMI on the EC2 instance that you deploy.
- For more information, see the Amazon Marketplace.
- For install and configuration instructions, see Install from Amazon Marketplace.
Designer Cloud Enterprise Edition with EMR
You can deploy an AMI of the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform onto an EC2 instance and then integrate it with your pre-configured EMR cluster for Spark-based job execution.
- For more information on installation, see Install from Amazon Marketplace.
- For more information on configuring integration with EMR, see Configure for EMR.
AWS Integrations
The following table describes the different AWS components that can host or integrate with the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform. Combinations of one or more of these items constitute one of the deployment scenarios listed in the following section.
| AWS Service | Description | Base Storage Layer | Other Required AWS Services |
|---|---|---|---|
| EC2 | Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) can be used to host the Alteryx node in a scalable cloud-based environment. The following deployments are supported:
| Base storage layer can be S3 or HDFS. If set to HDFS, only read access to S3 is permitted. | |
| S3 | Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) can be used for reading data sources, writing job results, and hosting the Alteryx databases. | Base storage layer can be S3 or HDFS. If set to HDFS, only read access to S3 is permitted. | |
| Redshift | Amazon Redshift provides a scalable data warehouse platform, designed for big data analytics applications. The Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform can be configured to read and write from Amazon Redshift database tables. | Base Storage Layer = S3 | S3 |
| AMI | Through the Amazon Marketplace, you can license and install an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) instance of Data Preparation for Amazon Redshift and S3. This product is intended for smaller user groups that do not need large-scale processing of Hadoop-based clusters. | Base Storage Layer = S3 NOTE: HDFS is not supported. | EC2 instance |
| EMR | Through the Amazon Marketplace, you can license and install an AMI specifically configured to work with Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (EMR), a Hadoop-based data processing platform. | Base Storage Layer = S3 | EC2 instance, AMI |
| Amazon RDS | Optionally, the Alteryx databases can be installed on Amazon RDS. For more information, see Install Databases on Amazon RDS. | Base Storage Layer = S3 |
