Flow deployments overview
A flow deployment represents a NiFi cluster running on Kubernetes and executing a specific flow definition. When you initiate the flow deployment process from the Cloudera Data Flow Catalog, a deployment wizard helps you turn a flow definition into a flow deployment. When using the wizard, specify your environment, provide configuration parameters, auto-scaling settings and KPI definitions for your flow deployment.
Creating flow deployments
Deploy a flow definition to run Apache NiFi flows as flow deployments in Cloudera Data Flow. To do this, launch the Deployment wizard and specify your environment, parameters, sizing, and KPIs.
Monitoring flow deployments
The Cloudera Data Flow UI is the central monitoring console for all your deployments across environments. It is the space where you can monitor flow metrics and infrastructure usage, and manage deployments.
Managing flow deployments
Learn about using the Deployment Manager page to manage your flow deployment lifecycle.
Auto-scaling
Flow deployments can be configured to automatically scale up or down the number of Apache NiFi nodes depending on the resource utilization in the cluster.
Resources
In the Resources view you see all workspaces where you have DFFlowUser role. The number of resources is listed by type on each workspace card. This is the central place for accessing Cloudera Data Flow resources across environments.
