How to enable Multi-AZ deployment on Cloudera Operational Database

Understand the entitlements that you need to access the Multi-AZ on Cloudera Operational Database and also how you can disable Multi-AZ on your Cloudera Operational Database environment.

To use this feature on an AWS or Azure environment, you must first contact Cloudera Support or your Cloudera account team to enable the following entitlements in Cloudera on cloud.

• On an AWS environment, you need the CDP_CB_AWS_NATIVE entitlement.
• On an Azure environment, you need both CDP_CB_AZURE_MULTIAZ and CDP_AZURE_DATABASE_FLEXIBLE_SERVER entitlements.

Once the entitlement is enabled, Cloudera Operational Database supports multiple availability while creating databases, by default.

To disable multiple availability on Cloudera Operational Database, you can provide the --disable-multi-az option while creating a new Cloudera Operational Database database using cdpcli-beta.

For example, cdp opdb create-database --environment myEnvironment --database myDatabase --disable-multi-az

If you provide this option for a Cloudera environment on GCP, the call fails because this feature is only applicable to AWS and Azure (as a technical preview).
