cloudera.exe - Runlevel Management and Utilities for Cloudera Data Platform (CDP)

Readme last updated: 2021-05-26

cloudera.exe is an Ansible collection enabling runlevel management of CDP Public Cloud deployments. The collection also contains a number of utilities for common scenarios encountered when managing a CDP deployment.

The collection provides the following roles:

Role	Description
sequence	Runlevel-like "orchestration" of CDP Public Cloud deployments
infrastructure	Cloud provider assets and IaaS
platform	CDP Public Cloud assets, including Environments, Datalakes, Users and Groups, etc.
runtime	CDP Experiences, including Machine Learning, Datahubs, etc.
info	Comprehensive readout of all CDP Public Cloud elements within an Environment
data	Manage external data locations for CDP Public Cloud deployments
common	Shared variables for all roles within collection

Installation

To install the cloudera.exe collection, you have several options. Please note that to date, we have not yet published this collection to the public Ansible Galaxy server, so you cannot install it via direct namespace declaration, rather you must specify a Git project and (optionally) branch.

The collection has several dependencies that should resolve automatically via the ansible-galaxy command:

• cloudera.cloud (on Cloudera Labs)
• ansible.netcommon
• community.general
• community.aws
• amazon.aws
• azure.azcollection
• google.cloud
• netapp.azure (currently a bug fix branch)

Option #1: Install from GitHub

Create or edit the collections/requirements.yml file in your project with the following:

collections:
  - name: https://github.com/cloudera-labs/cloudera.exe.git
    type: git
    version: main

And then run in your project:

ansible-galaxy collection install -r collections/requirements.yml

Option #2: Install the tarball

Periodically, the collection is packaged into a distribution which you can install directly:

ansible-galaxy collection install <collection-tarball> -p collections/

Requirements

The cloudera.exe collection interacts with both CDP and cloud provider endpoints.

NOTE: At minimum, you will need to install the base Python libraries and your target cloud provider libraries. You may choose to install all the cloud provider libraries, if desired.

NOTE #2: We highly recommend using virtual environments for managing these dependencies!

The collection requires Ansible 2.10.0 or higher.

cloudera.exe depends on the following other collections, all of which should be automatically resolved through ansible-galaxy.

• cloudera.cloud
• ansible.netcommon
• community.general
• community.aws
• amazon.aws
• azure.azcollection
• google.cloud
• netapp.azure

Python

The collection has several Python libraries that are needed to support the roles and the underlying modules, i.e. the base libraries, including:

Ansible

• jmespath
• netaddr

CDP

• cdpy (See cdpy on Cloudera Labs)

The requirements.txt file declares these libraries. You may install them via pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Amazon Web Services

For AWS, you need to install the following Python libraries:

• awscli
• boto
• botocore
• boto3

The requirements_aws.txt file declares these libraries. You may install them via pip:

pip install -r requirements_aws.txt

Microsoft Azure

For Azure, you must first install the Azure CLI for your OS.

Then install the following Python libraries:

• All of the Azure Collection requirements
• azure-mgmt-netapp

The requirements_azure.txt file declares these libraries. You may install them via pip:

pip install -r requirements_azure.txt

Google Cloud

For Google Cloud, you must first install the Google Cloud SDK for your OS.

Then install the following Python libraries:

• google-auth

The requirements_gcp.txt file declares these libraries. You may install them via pip:

pip install -r requirements_gcp.txt
