AWS Deployment Scenarios
The following are the basic AWS deployment scenarios.
deployed through AWS Marketplace:
| Deployment Scenario | | Base Storage Layer | Storage - S3 | Storage - Redshift | Cluster | Notes |
|---|
AWS install through AWS Marketplace CloudFormation template | EC2 | S3 | read/write | read/write | None | does not support integration with any running environment clusters. All job execution occurs on the in the running environment. This scenario is suitable for smaller user groups and data volumes. |
AWS install through AWS Marketplace CloudFormation template - with integration to EMR cluster | EC2 | S3 | read/write | read/write | EMR | This deployment scenario integrates by default with an EMR cluster, which is created as part of the process. It does not support integration with a Hadoop cluster. |
installed on AWS:
| Deployment Scenario | | Base Storage Layer | Storage - S3 | Storage - Redshift | Cluster | Notes |
|---|
AWS install with S3 read access | EC2 | HDFS | read only | Not supported | EMR | When HDFS is the base storage layer, the only accessible AWS resources is read-only access to S3. |
AWS install with S3 read/write access | EC2 | S3 | read/write | read/write | EMR | |
AWS install with S3 read/write access | EC2 | S3 | read/write | read/write | AWS Databricks | |
installed on-premises and integrated with AWS resources:
| Deployment Scenario | | Base Storage Layer | Storage - S3 | Storage - Redshift | Cluster | Notes |
|---|
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. |
| Microsoft Azure | | | | | | Integration with AWS-based resources is not supported. |

| Column | Notes |
|---|
| Deployment Scenario | Description of the AWS-connected deployment |
| Location where the is installed in this scenario. All AWS installations are installed on EC2 instances. |
| Base Storage Layer | When the is first installed, the base storage layer must be set. | Info |
|---|
NOTE: After you have begun using the product, you cannot change the base storage layer. |
| Info |
|---|
NOTE: Read/write access to AWS-based resources requires that S3 be set as the base storage layer. |
|
| Storage - S3 | 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. | Info |
|---|
NOTE: Users can enable access to other S3 buckets by creating new connections through the . For more information, see Connection Types. |
|
| 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. - The can integrate with at most one cluster. It cannot integrate with two different clusters at the same time.
- Access to an EMR cluster requires S3 to be the base storage layer.
- Smaller jobs can be executed on the running environment, which is hosted on the itself.
- For more information, see Running Environment Options in the Configuration Guide.

AWS Installations
on AWS Marketplace (AMI)
Through the Amazon Marketplace, you can license and deploy an AMI of
, which 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
listing on AWS Marketplace.
on AWS Marketplace with EMR
You can deploy an AMI of the
onto an EC2 instance. For more information, see the
listing for AWS Marketplace.
You can deploy it in either of the following ways:
- Auto-create a 3-node EMR cluster.
- Integrate it later with your pre-existing EMR cluster.
For more information, see the
listing on AWS Marketplace.
on EC2 Instance
When the
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.
| Info |
|---|
NOTE: After you have created the instance, you should retain the instanceId from the console, which must be applied to the configuration in the . |
AWS Integrations
The following table describes the different AWS components that can host or integrate with the
. 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 in a scalable cloud-based environment. The following deployments are supported: - with or without access to an EMR cluster
| 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 . Access to specific S3 buckets can be enabled through new connections. | 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 can be configured to read and write from Amazon Redshift database tables. | Base Storage Layer = S3 | S3 |
| EMR | For more information on supported versions of EMR, see Configure for EMR in the Configuration Guide. | Base Storage Layer = S3 | EC2 instance |
| Amazon RDS | Optionally, the can be installed on Amazon RDS. For more information, see Install Databases on Amazon RDS in the Databases Guide. | Base Storage Layer = S3 | |
AWS Marketplace integrations:
| AWS Service | Description | Base Storage Layer | Other Required AWS Services |
|---|
| AMI | Through the AWS Marketplace, you can license and install an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) instance of . This product is intended for smaller user groups that do not need large-scale processing of Hadoop-based clusters. | Base Storage Layer = S3 | Info |
|---|
NOTE: HDFS is not supported. |
| EC2 instance |
| EMR | Through the AWS 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 | AMI |
