Registering a CDP Private Cloud environment

After you have set up the CDP Private Cloud requirements, you can register the environment.

Steps

Management Console UI

Sign into the CDP console.
Click Environments.
On the Environments page, click Register Environment.

On the Register Environment page, provide the required information.

Environment

Environments in CDP Private Cloud provide shared data, security, and governance (metadata) for your machine learning and data warehouse applications.


Property	Description
Environment Name	Enter a name for your environment. This name will be used to refer to this environment in CDP. Note: Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) service requires that you specify the environment name 45 characters long. This is because CDW uses a deterministic namespace and adds a prefix to the environment name. The length of the namespace ID after CDW applies a prefix to the Environment name, including the hyphen (-), should not exceed 63 characters.

Compute Cluster Resources

To run workloads, you must specify a Kubeconfig file to register a Kubernetes cluster with CDP Private Cloud.


Property	Description
Kubernetes Configurations	Click Upload Files, then select a Kubeconfig file to enable CDP to access a Kubernetes cluster.
Storage class	The storage class on the OpenShift cluster. If you do not specify this value, the default storage class is used.
Domain	The default domain suffix for workload applications.

Data Lake

A Data Lake refers to the shared security and governance services in a CDP Data Center cluster linked to a CDP Private Cloud environment, and managed by Cloudera Manager. To register an environment, CDP Private Cloud needs to access Cloudera Manager and its Data Lake services.


Parameter	Description
Cloudera Manager URL	The Cloudera Manager URL.
Cloudera Manager Admin Username	The Cloudera Manager administrator user name.
Cloudera Manager Admin Password	The Cloudera Manager administrator password.

Under Data Lake, click Connect.When CDP Private Cloud has successfully connected to Cloudera Manager, a confirmation message appears, along with the Data Lake cluster services.
Click Register.The environment page appears. The new environment is also listed on the Environments page.
note
You can repeat steps 2 through 5 to register more environments. If required, you can select a different Data Lake cluster while registering the additional environment. However, make sure that the Cloudera Manager instance is the same that you had specified to create the initial environment.

CLI

You can use the following command to create a new environment:

cdp environments create-private-environment \
--environment-name <value> \
--address <value> \
--authentication-token <value> \
----cluster-names <value>

For a detailed description of the command properties, use cdp environments create-private-environment --help
