Creating Kyvos resources on AWS automated deployment with No-Spark
Applies to: Kyvos Enterprise Kyvos Cloud (SaaS on AWS) Kyvos AWS Marketplace
Kyvos Azure Marketplace Kyvos GCP Marketplace Kyvos Single Node Installation (Kyvos SNI)
This section describes how to create the required AWS resources through Kyvos Manager to generate a CloudFormation template for automated Kyvos deployment on AWS with the No-Spark architecture.
Note
From Kyvos 2025.10, cross-region Disaster Recovery is supported.
Kyvos does not support Kubernetes deployments on AWS Graviton (ARM64 architecture).
Cross-Region Disaster Recovery Support
For automated deployment, to avail cross-region disaster recovery, you must opt for data resources replica creation during template creation.
Creating Kyvos resources for AWS Enterprise
To create Kyvos resources for creating an AWS CloudFormation template for use in automated deployment, perform the following steps.
Log onto your AWS Console, and create an EC2 instance for the Kyvos Manager.
On this EC2 instance, copy or download the Kyvos installation setup shared by Kyvos Support.
Start the Kyvos Manager and access it using your credentials.
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.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.
Click CREATE RESOURCES. This displays the Create Resources dialog box.
Here, select the services for which you want to create resources and provide information as:
Note
Resources will be created only for selected services. If you have pre-created resources for any of the services, you can uncheck them and configure them while installing Kyvos.
Area | Parameter/Field | Remarks/Description |
|---|---|---|
Use Graviton Instances |
| Select this option to deploy the Kyvos Services (like BI Server, Query Engines, Kyvos Manager on Graviton instances |
EC2 instance(s) for BI Server | Number of Node(s) | Provide the number of EC2 instances that you want to create for BI Server nodes. |
Instance Type | Select the EC2 instance type to be used for BI Server nodes. | |
Installation Disk | Select the type and size of the installation disk to be used for BI Server nodes. | |
EC2 instance(s) for Query Engine | Number of Node(s) | Provide the number of EC2 instances that you want to create for query engine nodes. |
Instance Type | Select the EC2 instance type to be used for query engine nodes. | |
Installation Disk | Select the type and size of the installation disk to be used for query engine nodes. | |
EBS Volume | Select the number and size of the disk to be used for query engine nodes. NOTE: Installation disk size must be 100 GB and the cuboid replication disk size must be in the multiplier of 50 or 100. | |
Disk Type | Select the disk type to be used as EBS Volume. | |
Web portal high availability |
| Select to enable Kyvos web portal high availability. If you select this, you need to provide the following:
NOTE: To use the Web portal high availability, you must select the EC2 instance for Kyvos Manager checkbox. |
EC2 instance for Kyvos Manager | Instance Type | Clear the check box for wizard-based installation. |
Deploy as Tenant | When using a multi-tenant environment, you can use the Deploy as Tenant checkbox to define a tenant. NOTE: This is displayed only for multi-tenant environment. | |
Postgres | Select one of the following repository types from the PostgreSQL list.
| |
KM Repository Instance Type | Select the size of the instance type from the Repository Instance Type. | |
Kyvos Repository | Kyvos Repository Instance Type | Select this option and specify the instance type to create a PostgreSQL-based repository using the Amazon RDS. Otherwise, the pre-bundled PostgreSQL-based Kyvos repository will be used. |
Output S3 Storage | Bucket Name Prefix | Select this option and specify the bucket name prefix to create an S3 storage bucket for Kyvos output. |
Compute Cluster | Compute Cluster Type | Select the Kyvos Native option.
|
Kubernetes Configurations | NodeInstanceType | Enter EC2 instance type for the worker nodes. |
| MinPodCount | Enter number of Pod count. |
| MaxWorkerNodeCount | Enter maximum desired number of worker nodes |
Kubernetes Configurations | Name of the Existing Kubernetes Cluster | Enter the name of the Existing Kubernetes Cluster. |
| Name of the Existing Node Group | Enter the name of the Existing Node Group name. |
| Name of the Existing IAM Role attached to Add-On's of Kubernetes Cluster | Enter the name of the existing IAM Role attached to Add-On's of Kubernetes Cluster. |
| Name of the Existing IAM Role attached to the NodeGroup | Enter the name of the existing IAM Role attached to the NodeGroup. |
| Count of the minimum worker | Specify the number of minimum worker nodes. NOTE: Value of this parameter cannot be 0 and larger than the value of parameter MaxWorkerNodeCountExisting. |
| Count of the maximum worker | Specify the number of maximum worker nodes. NOTE: If the values of MinPodCount and MaxWorkerNodeCount are the same, then scaling will be disabled. |
| Type of NodeGroup | Select one of the following options:
NOTE: If parameter KubernetesClusterType is Dedicated then the value of this parameter should be dedicated. |
| Compute Pod NameSpace | Name of namespace for compute pod. If parameter KubernetesClusterType is Shared then the provided namespace should already exists, if parameter KubernetesClusterType is Dedicated then we will create the specified namespace. |
Use custom image |
| 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.
NOTE:
|
Deploy with Enhanced Security |
| Select this checkbox for enhanced security that ensures passwords are stored in the AWS Secret Manager and not in Kyvos configuration files. |
Data Replication for Disaster Recovery | Enable Replication | Select this checkbox to configure replication will be available when at least one of the Bucket, Secret, or RDS Repository is created as part of deployment. Replica are created and configured only for the deployment time created resources. For any of these 3 resources used in deployment that are created externally, user must manage (create & configure) their replica. |
Replication region | Select the required replication region. | |
On Replication Stack Creation Failure | Select one of the following options to specify the behavior on primary stack.
Note: If replication resource creation fails, you will receive a notification. You need to create replication resources information for failed resources on the Replication Information page. | |
Cloud Services Version | Version List Preference | Select the preference to list version of cloud services, such as EMR and RDS. |
Release Type Preference | Kyvos Release | Select the required release type from the list. |
Important
For using Custom Image, Kyvos supports using customer-provided AMIs for CentOS 7, RHEL 7 and 8, and Amazon Linux 2023 with x64, 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
Click NEXT. The Review and Download Template dialog box is displayed with details of all the settings that you selected.
Review all the settings, and click the BACK button if you want to make any changes.
To continue, click the DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE button to download the CloudFormation template.
Now deploy the Kyvos cluster to create the resources.
