Version: 2.2.0

Minimum Requirements

The minimum requirements for implementing a Big Data Cluster may vary depending on the desired services or the technical and organizational needs of each environment.

Minimum Number of Machines​

To minimally meet the replication and high availability requirements of the Platform's main components, we suggest:

  • 07 machines (physical or virtual), as follows:
    • 03 machines dedicated to control, management, and administration components (Masters)
    • 03 machines dedicated to storage, operation, and execution components (Workers)
    • 01 machine dedicated to Apache Ambari and other utility components (Utility or Edge)
note

Clusters with a reduced number of machines can be implemented as long as the technical requirements, sizing, and processing capacity of each component are respected. For example, a Cluster exclusively for the Apache Kafka service can initially be implemented with just 03 machines.

warning

It is recommended that the machines be exclusively used for the Big Data Cluster.

The amount of computing resources (CPU, RAM, disk, etc.) indicated for each machine requires the evaluation of several factors, such as the services to be installed, desired workloads, expected data volume, among others.

If you need support, contact us through the Support Area.

note

For downloading the installation packages, 30GB of free disk space is required.

Supported Virtualizers​

TDP can be installed on physical or virtual machines. The supported hypervisors are:

  • VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 5.1 and later versions;
  • Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 and later versions; and
  • Oracle VirtualBox 5.0 and later versions.

Supported Operating Systems​

Currently, TDP is available for the following operating systems:

  • CentOS 7.5 and higher minor versions;
  • CentOS 8.x and 9.x;
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 and higher minor versions;
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.x and 9.x;
  • Rocky Linux 8.x and 9.x; and
  • AlmaLinux 8.x and 9.x.

Support for additional Linux distributions will be available soon.

Supported Browsers​

To access the graphical interfaces of the components in a TDP Cluster, we recommend using the following browsers:

  • Google Chrome 96 or later versions;
  • Mozilla Firefox 94 or later versions; and
  • Microsoft Edge 96 or later versions.
