Alteryx node installation

Location where the Alteryx node is installed in this scenario.

Base Storage Layer

When the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform is first installed, the base storage layer must be set.

NOTE: After you have begun using the product, you cannot change the base storage layer.

Storage - WASB

For read/write access to WASB, the base storage layer must be set to WASB.

Storage - ADLS Gen1

For read/write access to ADLS Gen1, the base storage layer must be set to HDFS.

Storage - ADLS Gen2For read/write access to ADLS Gen2, the base storage layer must be set to ABFSS.
Storage - Azure SQL DatabaseFor Azure installs, you can optionally create a connection to an Azure SQL Database instance.
Storage - SQL DWFor Azure installs, you can optionally create a connection to an Azure-hosted instance of SQL DW.
Cluster

List of Hadoop cluster types that are supported for integration and job execution at scale.

  • The Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform can integrate with at most one cluster. It cannot integrate with two different clusters at the same time.
  • Smaller jobs can be executed on the Trifacta Photon running environment, which is hosted on the Alteryx node itself.
  • For more information, see Running Environment Options in the Configuration Guide.

Azure Installations

Azure ServiceDescriptionBase Storage LayerOther Required Azure Services
Azure Databricks

Optionally, you can integrate the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform with an Azure Databricks cluster.

Base storage layer can be HDFS (for ADLS Gen1), ABFSS (for ADLS Gen2), or WASB. 
WASB

Windows Azure Storage Blobs (WASB) extends HDFS to enable access to storage blobs that have not been deployed into the cluster.

Base Storage Layer = WASB

Azure Databricks

Key Vault

ADLS Gen1
Active Data Lake Store (ADLS) provides a highly scalable file-based storage system within the cluster.

Base Storage Layer = HDFS
