Legend and Notes:
| Column | Notes |
|---|---|
| Deployment Scenario | Description of the Azure-connected deployment |
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.
For more information, see Set Base Storage Layer. |
| Storage - WASB | For read/write access to WASB, the base storage layer must be set to WASB. For more information, see Enable WASB Access. |
| Storage - ADLS | For read/write access to ADLS, the base storage layer must be set to HDFS. For more information, see Enable ADLS Access. |
| Storage - SQL DB | For Azure installs, you can optionally create a connection to an Azure-hosted instance of SQL DB. For more information, see Create SQL DB Connections. |
| Storage - SQL DW | For Azure installs, you can optionally create a connection to an Azure-hosted instance of SQL DW. For more information, see Create SQL DW Connections. |
| Cluster | List of Hadoop cluster types that are supported for integration and job execution at scale.

Azure Installations
All Azure installations are executed through the Azure Marketplace. Then, the platform can be integrated with a pre-existing HDI cluster or a cluster that you create as part of the installation.
For more information, see Install from Azure Marketplace.
Azure Integrations
The following table describes the different Azure 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.
| Azure Service | Description | Base Storage Layer | Other Required Azure Services |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDI | Microsoft Azure deployments can integrate with an HDI cluster, which can be pre-existing or created at the time of deployment. See Configure for HDInsight. | Base storage layer can be HDFS (for ADLS) or WASB. | |
| Azure Databricks | Optionally, you can integrate the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform with an Azure Databricks cluster. See Configure for Azure Databricks. | Base storage layer can be HDFS (for ADLS) or WASB. | |
| WASB | Windows Azure Storage Blobs (WASB) extends HDFS to enable access to storage blobs that have not been deployed into the HDI cluster. See Enable WASB Access. | Base Storage Layer = WASB | HDI cluster WASB Key Vault |
| ADLS | Active Data Lake Store (ADLS) provides a highly scalable file-based storage system within HDI cluster. See Enable ADLS Access. | Base Storage Layer = HDFS | HDI cluster ADLS Key Vault |
The following database connections are optional.
| Database Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Hive | You can read from and write to Hive, a data warehouse built on top of HDI.
|
| SQL DW | You can read from and write to SQL Data Warehouse, a scalable data warehouse solution for Azure.
|
| SQL DB | You can read from SQL DB, a SQL Server variant for Azure.
