Running on AWS

This quickstart guide helps you get started running Pinot on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
In this quickstart guide, you will set up a Kubernetes Cluster on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)

1. Tooling Installation

1.1 Install Kubectl

To install kubectl, see Install kubectl.
For Mac users
brew install kubernetes-cli
Check kubectl version after installation.
kubectl version
Quickstart scripts are tested under kubectl client version v1.16.3 and server version v1.13.12

1.2 Install Helm

Follow this link (https://helm.sh/docs/using_helm/#installing-helm) to install helm.
For Mac users
brew install kubernetes-helm
Check helm version after installation.
helm version
This quickstart provides helm supports for helm v3.0.0 and v2.12.1. Pick the script based on your helm version.

1.3 Install AWS CLI

For Mac users
curl "https://d1vvhvl2y92vvt.cloudfront.net/awscli-exe-macos.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install

1.4 Install Eksctl

For Mac users
brew tap weaveworks/tap
brew install weaveworks/tap/eksctl

2. (Optional) Log in to your AWS account

For first-time AWS users, register your account at https://aws.amazon.com/.
Once you have created the account, go to AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to create a user and create access keys under Security Credential tab.
aws configure
Environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY will override the AWS configuration stored in file ~/.aws/credentials

3. (Optional) Create a Kubernetes cluster(EKS) in AWS

The script below will create a 1 node cluster named pinot-quickstart in us-west-2 with a t3.xlarge machine for demo purposes:
EKS_CLUSTER_NAME=pinot-quickstart
eksctl create cluster \
--name ${EKS_CLUSTER_NAME} \
--version 1.16 \
--region us-west-2 \
--nodegroup-name standard-workers \
--node-type t3.xlarge \
--nodes 1 \
--nodes-min 1 \
--nodes-max 1
For k8s 1.23+, run the following commands to allow the containers to provision their storage:
eksctl utils associate-iam-oidc-provider --region=us-east-2 --cluster=pinot-quickstart --approve
eksctl create iamserviceaccount \
--name ebs-csi-controller-sa \
--namespace kube-system \
--cluster pinot-quickstart \
--attach-policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/service-role/AmazonEBSCSIDriverPolicy \
--approve \
--role-only \
--role-name AmazonEKS_EBS_CSI_DriverRole
eksctl create addon --name aws-ebs-csi-driver --cluster pinot-quickstart --service-account-role-arn arn:aws:iam::$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text):role/AmazonEKS_EBS_CSI_DriverRole --force
Use the following command to monitor the cluster status:
EKS_CLUSTER_NAME=pinot-quickstart
aws eks describe-cluster --name ${EKS_CLUSTER_NAME} --region us-west-2
Once the cluster is in ACTIVE status, it's ready to be used.

4. Connect to an existing cluster

Run the following command to get the credential for the cluster pinot-quickstart that you just created:
EKS_CLUSTER_NAME=pinot-quickstart
aws eks update-kubeconfig --name ${EKS_CLUSTER_NAME}
To verify the connection, run the following:
kubectl get nodes

5. Pinot quickstart

Follow this Kubernetes quickstart to deploy your Pinot demo.

6. Delete a Kubernetes Cluster

EKS_CLUSTER_NAME=pinot-quickstart
aws eks delete-cluster --name ${EKS_CLUSTER_NAME}
