Configuring Apache HBasePDF version

Configuring network line-of-sight

An edge node must be able to access the HBase services running inside of your Cloudera Operational Database. These services are bound to the private network interfaces. Therefore, your edge node must be able to resolve the private IP addresses in your Cloudera VNet.

There are multiple methods how you can allow your edge node to resolve the private IP addresses in your Cloudera VPC. For example:
  • Re-use the subnets created for Cloudera
  • Direct connect
  • Virtual Private Network

As a part of the initial Cloudera setup, you have already created three subnets or Cloudera would have automatically created this for you. You can use the standard computer service in the Azure Marketplace to launch a Virtual Machine on the same resource group and subnet as your Cloudera Operational Database. For more information, see Reuse the subnets created for Cloudera.

To enable computers in your corporate network to communicate with the Cloudera VNet, you can use Azure ExpressRoute. Azure ExpressRoute enables hardware which you control to communicate with resources on Azure. For more information about Direct Connect, see Azure ExpressRoute Overview: Connect over a private connection.

If you are using a corporate VPN network, you can use establish a VPN connection over the Internet to your Cloudera Operational Database. For more information, see About Azure VPN Gateway.
