Load balancers for AWS environments
When you activate an environment, you can select load balancers.
You can select public and private load balancers to evenly distribute the inbound traffic.
Deployment Mode options that you can select are as follows:
| Option | Brief Description | Requirements and Recommendations |
|---|---|---|
| Private Load Balancer, Private Executors | CDW nginix based load balancer runs on private subnets and all workload pods that also run on private subnets. | Requires a jump host or AWS direct connect to access CDW. Cloudera recommends that you use the Private Load Balancer, Private Executors deployment mode if possible for security reasons. Selecting this option is required if you want to use a private EKS API server. |
| Public Load Balancer, Private Executors |
CDW nginix based load balancer runs on public subnets and all workload pods that also run on private subnets. |
Select this option to connect to CDW from anywhere as long as the source CIDR filters allow the connection. |
| Public Load Balancer, Public Executors |
CDW nginix based load balancer runs on public subnets and all workload pods that also run on public subnets. |
Select this option to connect to CDW from anywhere as long as the source CIDR filters allow the connection. Cloudera does not recommend selecting this option for security reasons. |
