Custom image repositories
If your organization must control the acquisition and provisioning of images in your cloud account, custom image repositories are available. If your organization does not allow internet access, or restricts image repositories to only those within your virtual private network (VPC in AWS or VNet in Azure), you can bring your own repository to Cloudera.
Using your custom repository, you can host and scan Cloudera Data Warehouse images. You gain complete control over which images are provisioned in your cloud account and how you acquire the images.
- Azure Container Registry (ACR)
- Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR)
To use this feature, you must obtain the CDP_CUSTOM_REPO entitlement.
Cloudera Data Warehouse architecture
The following diagram shows the Cloudera Data Warehouse architecture using a custom image repository based on ACR or ECR.
When you set up a custom repository, you must read the manifest.json file using your paywall credentials from Cloudera to obtain a list of images. Cloudera provides an image list with each release. You must pull images each time a new release of Cloudera Data Warehouse occurs. Cloudera recommends that you create an automated way to pull these images.
Image version verification is not available in private registries, the server starts the new images without verification. If the images are not present in the registry, provisioning fails.
