The Cloudera Embedded Container Service

Cloudera Manager provides tools for managing and monitoring the on premises Cloudera Embedded Container Service.

The Cloudera Embedded Container Service (ECS) service enables you to run Cloudera Data Services on premises by creating container-based clusters in your data center. In addition to the option to use OpenShift Container Platform, which requires that you deploy and manage the Kubernetes infrastructure, you can also deploy a Cloudera Embedded Container Service cluster, which creates and manages an embedded Kubernetes infrastructure for use with Cloudera Data Services on premises. Installing, configuring, and managing OpenShift is not required. You only need to provide hosts on which to install the service and Cloudera Manager sets up the Cloudera Embedded Container Service cluster and also provides management and monitoring of the cluster.

When you create an Cloudera Embedded Container Service cluster, two new services are added to the cluster:

• Cloudera Embedded Container Service. The Cloudera Embedded Container Service has two roles:

  • Cloudera Embedded Container Service Server -- runs on a single host in the Cloudera Embedded Container Service cluster.

  • Cloudera Embedded Container Service Agent -- runs on all hosts except the host running the Server role in the Cloudera Embedded Container Service Cluster.

• Docker service. The Docker service has a single role:

  • Docker Server -- runs on all hosts in the Cloudera Embedded Container Service Cluster.

    If any values in /etc/dex/secret/dex-secret.yaml, such as ldap.bindPass and ozoneS3Secret, contain special characters, then, they must be enclosed in double quotes (") or the dex-app-... pod fails.
