Deploying Dremio on Azure

Dremio for an Azure deployment creates a coordinator and executor nodes that are associated with the selected cluster size.

Prerequisite

An Azure portal account is required to deploy Dremio on Azure.

Step 1: Click on Dremio's Azure ARM Link

This link is associated with Dremio's Azure template: Evaluate via Azure ARM

Step 2: Log in to Azure

Log in using your Azure portal account (if you're not already logged in).

Step 3: Configure the Dremio Deployment

To configure the Dremio deployment:

1. Provide values for the configuration parameters.
2. Check the Terms and Conditions box.
3. Click Purchase.

Input Parameter	Description
Subscription	Azure subscription where the cluster should be deployed.
Resource Group*	The Azure Resource group where the cluster should be deployed.
Location	The Azure location where the cluster resources will be deployed.
Cluster Name	A name for your cluster.
Cluster Size*	Pick a size based on your needs.
SSH Username	The username that can be used to login to your nodes.
Authentication Type	Password or Key based authentication for ssh.
Password or SSH Public Key*	The password or SSH public key
Use Existing Subnet*	(Optional) ID of an existing subnet.

Resource Group parameter

It is recommended that you create a new resource group. Deleting a resource group deletes all the resources in it (and hence all the resources created by this template).

Cluster Size parameter

Based on the cluster size, the following machine types and number of executor nodes are implemented. Note that the cost of your Azure deployment depends on the selected cluster size.

Cluster size	Coordinator VM Size	Executor VM Size	No. of Executors
X-Small	Standard_D4_v3	Standard_E16s_v3	1
Small	Standard_D4_v3	Standard_E16s_v3	5
Medium	Standard_D8_v3	Standard_E16s_v3	10
Large	Standard_D8_v3	Standard_E16s_v3	25
X-Large	Standard_D8_v3	Standard_E16s_v3	50

Password or SSH Public Key parameter

If password is used, it must have as a minimum:

• Eight (8) characters
• One (1) upper case
• One (1) lower case
• One (1) number

Use Existing Subnet parameter

If the Use Existing Subnet parameter is set:

• The subnet must be in the same location as the Dremio cluster resource group.
• The subnet must be of the following form: /subscriptions/xxxx/resourceGroups/xxxx/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/xxxx/subnets/xxxx

Step 4: Connect to Dremio

1. Click on the Notifications icon in the top right and then on the Deployment in progress... link. Notifications > Deployment in progress...
   

2. Once your deployment is complete, select Output, copy the provided URL, and launch from a browser. Output > URL
   

3. Register with Dremio and login.
