Azure Account Requirements for Cloudera AI Workbenches

The requirements for using Cloudera AI Workbenches in Azure are described in Working with Azure environments, which is linked in the Related information section, below.

In addition, Cloudera AI on Azure has a few additional requirements:
  • Cloudera AI requires one Azure virtual network.
  • Each Cloudera AI Workbench requires its own subnet.
  • Each Cloudera AI Workbench requires its own NFS file share.
  • Azure Files NFS 4.1, or Azure NetApp Files, are the recommended services, in order of preference. For Azure Files NFS 4.1, only NFS version 4.1 is supported. For Azure NetApp Files, only NFS version 3 is supported. We require the “No Root Squash” (or Allow Root Access) export option, and the volume must be shared with read and write access. The NFS volume must be created with at least 100 GB of storage capacity to ensure adequate I/O performance. It is also possible, although not recommended, to use an external NFS. For more information, see Other NFS Options in Related information.
