To create Kyvos resources for creating an AWS CloudFormation template for use in automated deployment, perform the following steps.

  1. Log onto your AWS Console, and create an EC2 instance for the Kyvos Manager.

  2. On this EC2 instance, copy or download the Kyvos installation setup shared by Kyvos Support.

  3. Install Kyvos Manager.

  4. Start the Kyvos Manager and access it using your credentials.

  5. Alternatively, access the installation URL, such as:
    http://clusterIP:port/kyvosmanager/kyvos-installer/aws
    If you do not have the URL and/or credentials, click here to contact support.

  6. To create resources for installing Kyvos services like BI Server and Query Engine on the AWS environment, select the I want to create resources option on the Kyvos Installer page.

  • Databricks

Kyvos cluster and Databricks cluster will be in same network or in peered network

Select this checkbox if your Kyvos cluster nodes and Databricks cluster are either in the same network or shared using VPC peering. 

NOTE: If this checkbox is not selected, an API gateway method will be created and used for communication between the Databricks cluster and Kyvos BI Server. 

Use Custom Image

(please see the note below) 

Select this option to use a custom image of your environment for deploying the Kyvos cluster. Custom images can be used to bootstrap deployment tasks like preloading applications, application configurations, and other configurations.   

You will have to provide the following information at the time of deploying the cluster through the CloudFormation.

  • AmiDefaultUserName: Enter the AMI default logged-in Linux user

  • AmiId: Enter the AMI ID to be used for launching Kyvos Instances.  

NOTE:
If you are not using a custom image, the cluster will be deployed with Amazon Linux 23.

  • If you select the Use Graviton Instances checkbox, the Use Custom Image checkbox is disabled.

Deploy with enhanced security

Enhanced security ensures passwords are stored in the AWS Secrets Manager and not in the Kyvos configuration files.

Create resources for managing credit and usage information

Creates or supports the credit-based license support in Kyvos.

Important

For using Custom Image, Kyvos supports using customer-provided AMIs for CentOS 7, RHEL 7 and 8, and Amazon Linux 2023 with x64, AMD or ARM-based Graviton architecture type.  

  • Python 2 is required as a prerequisite for CentOS 7 and RedHat 7 AMIs  

  • Python 3 is required as a prerequisite for RedHat 8  AMIs and CentOS 8 AMIs

  • All operating system commands must be present in the Custom Image machine. See the OS commands section for more details
