Provisioning

Cloudera AI utilizes the Cloudera Control Plane to manage Data Services so you can provision and delete Cloudera AI Workbench. Cloudera Control Plane leverages cloud native capabilities to dynamically access CPU, memory, and GPU resources along with cloud-managed Kubernetes (K8s) to provide the infrastructure.

During provisioning the Cloudera AI application is configured to authenticate end users of the service (Cloudera AI) via the Cloudera identity provider, which is “chained” back to the customer’s identity provider. As a result, Cloudera AI provisioned instances allow for seamless customer SSO.

When you provision a Cloudera AI Workbench, the following happens:

• Cloudera Control Plane performs the following in the cloud environment:
  • Requests a TLS Certificate and domain name with the cloudera.site domain
  • Identifies the SSO configuration
  • Identifies the SDX configuration for the environment
• Cloudera Control Plane provisions a managed Kubernetes cluster
• Cloudera Control Plane installs Cloudera AI into the Kubernetes environment
• Storage is mounted directly via managed service providers

Cloudera AI uses the cloud provider load balancer and networking infrastructure to partition the resources. Cloudera AI also leverages the cloud provider infrastructure to enable the customer to specify autoscaling.

Cloudera AI provisions the DNS and the certificate. Cloudera AI renews the certificates for the customer on an ongoing basis.
