Deploying Dremio on AWS
note:
AWS Cloudformation templates were previously provided for testing and evaluation purposes only. They have been deprecated and will be replaced by an upcoming AWS Marketplace listing. Existing Cloudformation deployments will continue to function however it is recommended that the Marketplace listing is used for testing and evaluation once it is available.
Prerequisite
- AWS account
- AWS Keypair
- Permission to create security groups
- (Optional) VPC and subnet for non-default VPC and subnet
Note:
Dremio for an AWS deployment creates coordinator and executor nodes that are associated with the selected cluster size.
Step 1: Click on Dremio’s AWS Cloudformation Link
This link is associated with Dremio’s AWS Cloudformation template: Evaluate via AWS Cloudformation
Step 2: Log in to AWS
