NFS options for on premises

Cloudera AI on premises requires a Network File System (NFS) server for storing project files and folders.

On Cloudera Embedded Container Service, NFS is part of the overall installation, and no additional setup steps are required.

You can use an NFS server that is external to the cluster, such as a NetApp Filer appliance. In this case, you must manually create a directory for each workbench. Additionally, the NFS server must be configured before deploying the first Cloudera AI Workbench in the cluster. One important limitation is that Cloudera AI does not support using shared volumes for storing project files.

Storage provisioner change

On Openshift Container Platform, CephFS is used as the underlying storage provisioner for any new internal workbench on Cloudera on premises. A storage class named ocs-storagecluster-cephfs with CSI driver set to openshift-storage.cephfs.csi.ceph.com must exist in the cluster for new internal workbenches to get provisioned. Each workbench will have separate 1 TB internal storage.

On Cloudera Embedded Container Service, any new internal workbench will use Longhorn as the underlying storage provisioner. A storage class named longhorn with CSI driver set to driver.longhorn.io must exist in the cluster for new internal workbenches to get provisioned. Each workbench will have separate 1 TB internal storage.
