Export deployment configuration

You can export a deployment configuration to create additional deployments with a similar configuration in the same or a different environment.

  • Exported configurations may be edited, and you can also modify them after the importing step during flow deployment.
  • One deployment can have only one exported configuration. Performing a new export overwrites the existing one.
  • Exported deployment configurations are available for every user who can start a new deployment in a given environment, even if the exported deployment was originally created under a specific Project.
  1. Open Cloudera DataFlow by clicking the DataFlow tile in the Cloudera sidebar.
  2. Click Deployments from the left navigation pane.
  3. Select a flow deployment to expand the Deployment Details pane and get deployment, KPI, system metrics, alerts, and event history information.
  4. In Deployment Details, click Actions > Manage Deployment.
    You are redirected to the Deployment Manager page.
  5. Click Actions in the Deployment Manager page.
  6. Select Export Configuration.
  7. Confirm your choice by clicking Export in the pop-up.

The configuration is exported to the {LOG location}/cdf-deployment-backup directory. {LOG location} is configured during the creation of the associated Cloudera Public Cloud Environment. If you want to reuse the exported configuration in a different environment, you can either configure that to use the same {LOG location}, or you can copy the exported .tar.gz and JSON files to the {LOG location}/cdf-deployment-backup directory of the target environment.

You can reuse the exported configuration during deployment of the same flow definition to recreate a flow with similar configuration.
