Install Steps - CloudFormation Template

Steps:

1. In the Marketplace listing, click Deploy into a new VPC.
2. Choose a Template: The template path is automatically populated for you.
3. Specify Details:

   1. Stack Name: Display name of the stack is used in the names of resources created by the stack and as an identifier for the stack.

      Info
      NOTE: Each instance of the D s platform must have a separate name.

      
      

   2. Instance Type: Please select the appropriate instance depending on the number of users and data volumes of your environment. For more information, see the Sizing Guide above.

   3. Key Pair: This SSH key pair is used to access the

      D s item
      item Instance

      and the EMR cluster instances.

   4. Allowed HTTP Source: This range of addresses are permitted access to the

      D s item
      item Instance

      on port 80, 443, and 3005.

      1. Port numbers 80 and 443 do not have any services by default, but you may modify the

         D s item
         item configuration

         to enable access via these ports.

   5. Allowed SSH Source: This range of addresses is permitted access to port 22 on the

      D s item
      item Instance

      .

   6. EMR Cluster Node Configuration: Allows you to customize the configuration of the deployed EMR nodes
      1. Reasonable values are used as defaults.
      2. If you do customize these values, you should upsize. Avoid downsizing these values.
   7. EMR Cluster Autoscaling Configuration: Allows you to customize the autoscaling settings used by the EMR cluster.
      1. Reasonable values are used as defaults.
4. Options: None of these is required for installation. Specify any options as needed for your environment.
5. Review: Review your installation and configured options.
   1. Select the checkbox at the end of the page.
   2. To launch the stack, click Create.
6. Please wait while the stack creates all required resources.

7. In the Stacks list, select the name of your application. Click the Outputs tab and collect the following information. Instructions on how to use this information are provided later.

   Parameter	Description	Use
   D s item item URL value	URL and port number to which to connect to the D s item item application	Users must connect to this IP address and port number to access. By default, it is set to 3005. The access port can be moved to 80 or 443 if desired. Please contact us for more details.
   D s item item Bucket	The address of the default S3 bucket	This value must be applied through the application after it has been deployed.
   D s item item Instance Id	The identifier for the instance of the platform	This value is the default password for the admin account. Info NOTE: You must change this password on the first login to the application.

   
   

8. After the

   D s item
   item instance

   has been created, you must add a license file before starting the

   D s item
   item service

   . Here we will SSH into the server and create the license file and paste the license file content in, plus update the ownership and permissions of that file:

   1. SSH into the server as the centos user and using the key you specified.

   2. Change to root user:

      Code Block
      sudo su

      
      
      

   3. Add your license by creating the following file.:

      Code Block
      /opt/trifacta/license/license.json

      
      

   4. Into the above file, paste the contents of the license.json file that was provided to you by your

      D s item
      item representative

      .

   5. Verify permissions on the file:

      Code Block
      chown trifacta:trifacta /opt/trifacta/license/license.json chmod 644 /opt/trifacta/license/license.json

      
      

9. Start the

   D s item
   item service

   :

   Code Block
   service trifacta start

   
   

10. It may take some time for the server to finish coming online. Navigate to the

    D s webapp

    .
11. When the login screen appears, enter the following:
    1. Username: admin@trifacta.local

    2. Password: (the TrifactaInstanceId value)

       Info
       NOTE: After you login as an admin for the first time, you must change the password.

       
       

12. From the application menu, select the Settings menu. Then, click Settings >Admin Settings. 

13. In the Admin Settings page, you can configure many aspects of the platform, including user management tasks, and perform restarts to apply the changes.

14. Add the S3 bucket that was automatically created to store

    D s item
    item metadata

    and EMR content. Search for:

    Code Block
    "aws.s3.bucket.name"

     

    1. Update the value with the

       D s item
       item Bucket value

       provided when you created the stack in AWS.

15. Verify your Spark version. If the cluster was launched from AWS, this value should be set to 2.3.0. Search for:
    
    

    Code Block
    "spark.version"

     

    1. Update its value to 2.3.0, if necessary.

16. Enable the "Run in EMR" option within the platform. Search for:

17. 
    

    Code Block
    "webapp.runinEMR"

     

    1. Select the checkbox to enable it.

18. Click Save underneath the Platform Settings section.

19. In the Admin Settings page, locate the External Service Settings section.

    1. AWS EMR Cluster ID: Paste the value for the EMR Cluster ID for the cluster to which the platform is connecting.

       1. Make sure to remove any extra spaces that may have been copiedVerify that there are no extra spaces in any copied value.
    2. AWS Region: Enter the region where your EMR cluster is located.
    3. Resource Bucket: you may use the already created

       D s item
       item Bucket

       .
       1. Make sure to remove any extra spaces that may have been copiedVerify that there are no extra spaces in any copied value.
    4. Resource Path: you should use something like EMRLOGS.

20. Click Save underneath the External Service Settings section.

21. When the platform restarts, you can begin using the product.

Note about deleting the CloudFormation stack

1. The S3 bucket that was created for the stack is not removed. If you want to delete it, you must empty it first and then delete it.
2. Any EMR security groups created for the stack cannot be deleted, due to circular references. The stack deletion process informs you of the security groups that it failed to delete. To complete the deletion:
   1. Remove all rules from the security groups.
   2. Delete the security groups manually.
   3. Re-run the stack deletion, which should complete successfully.
