Dataiku deployment on Kubernetes Cluster

[gizmo1177]

I have general question related to the Dataiku in a Kubernetes Cluster. It is more to verify if my understanding is correct. Please correct me in case I am wrong.

In general:

• To use Dataiku in a Kubernetes Cluster we first have to create a base image (https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/apinode/kubernetes/index.html). This base image is used later to initialize new api nodes in the Cluster.
• A load balancer can dispatch the queries to the API nodes (https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/apinode/operations/ha-deployment.html).
• Changes in the projects can be deployed by using the DSS UI. The API Deployer is responsible to distribute the changes to the nodes.

Is this correct?

Hi @gizmo1177,

This is correct! Note, when deploying your api service on a Kubernetes cluster, the load balancer is configured within your k8s Infrastructure in DSS UI under "service exposition". When you choose "load balancer" as your exposition mode, a load balancer annotation is applied to the manifest for the service and will be deployed with your api service to dispatch traffic.  

Thanks!

Hi Team,

If yes, please do share it here.
