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!
