Enabling Flexible Server during Cloudera Data Hub cluster creation

A Cloudera Data Hub cluster uses the same Flexible Server settings as the environment in which it runs.

The following scenarios are available::

  • Your environment uses Flexible Server with Private Link, and you have specified a private DNS zone at the environment level (either during environment creation or later by editing the environment).
  • Your environment uses Private Flexible Server with Delegated Subnet, and you have specified a delegated subnet and a private DNS zone at the environment level (either during environment creation or later by editing the environment).
  • Your environment uses the public Flexible Server option and does not specify a delegated subnet and a private DNS zone at the environment level.

If you do not explicitly specify any Azure Database Server option, Cloudera follows the logic described in Private Flexible Server setup > Database Server Options.

Steps

This option can be specified during Cloudera Data Hub cluster creation in the Advanced Options under Network and Availability > Select Azure Database Server.

Create a Cloudera Data Hub cluster as usual using the cdp create-azure-cluster CDP CLI command.

For example:
create-azure-cluster —-database-type FLEXIBLE_SERVER

The database-type string attribute represents the only available Azure database type. The only value it can take is FLEXIBLE_SERVER. It is the next-generation managed PostgreSQL service in Azure that provides maximum flexibility for your database and built-in cost optimizations.
