Deployment Guide: Ververica Cloud: Bring Your Own Cloud

info

Ververica recommends reviewing About BYOC before deploying Ververica Cloud: Bring Your Own Cloud. It covers several important factors for you to consider, including:

  • Is this the right option for your needs?
  • What are the core components of the BYOC framework
  • What is the security model and how can it help with a Zero Trust design?
  • What are the operational responsibilities for BYOC?

This guide walks you through deploying Ververica Cloud: Bring Your Own Cloud on an Amazon EKS cluster. By the end of the guide, you will have a Ververica Agent installed and running on your cluster and be able to create new BYOC workspaces that use your own AWS environment.

How to Use This Guide

  1. Prerequisites

    • Infrastructure Requirements: Ensure your EKS cluster meets the minimum version, capacity, and operating system requirements.
    • IMDS Access: Verify IMDSv1 is available on your worker nodes.
    • Network Requirements: Whitelist (allow outbound traffic) to agent.ververica.cloud, app.ververica.cloud, registry.ververica.cloud, and cdn.ververica.cloud.
    • IAM Setup: Make sure you have the correct IAM roles, permissions, and S3 bucket configurations, if not using the CloudFormation script.
  2. Create AWS Resources

    • Explains both an automated (CloudFormation) and manual approach to configuring IAM roles, policies, and an S3 bucket for Flink artifacts.
    • Describes how to enable Kubernetes OIDC (IRSA) to securely manage the Ververica Agent.
  3. Install and Configure the Ververica Agent

    • Walks through linking your Ververica account with AWS Marketplace and subscribing to the Ververica BYOC product.
    • Covers installing the Ververica Agent (Pyxis) using Helm and verifying its registration in the Ververica Portal.
    • Shows how to create a new BYOC workspace and uninstall the Agent if needed.

Once these steps are complete, you can run your Flink workloads in your own AWS environment while maintaining central control and visibility via Ververica Cloud.
