Running on GCP
This starter provides a quick start for running Pinot on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
This document provides the basic instruction to set up a Kubernetes Cluster on Google Kubernetes Engine(GKE)
1. Tooling Installation
1.1 Install Kubectl
Please follow this link (https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl) to install kubectl.
For Mac User
brew install kubernetes-cli
Please check kubectl version after installation.
kubectl version
1.2 Install Helm
Please follow this link (https://helm.sh/docs/using_helm/#installing-helm) to install helm.
For Mac User
brew install kubernetes-helm
Please check helm version after installation.
helm version
1.3 Install Google Cloud SDK
__
Please follow this link (https://cloud.google.com/sdk/install) to install Google Cloud SDK.
1.3.1 For Mac User
Install Google Cloud SDK
curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
Restart your shell
exec -l $SHELL
2. (Optional) Initialize Google Cloud Environment
gcloud init
3. (Optional) Create a Kubernetes cluster(GKE) in Google Cloud
Below script will create a 3 nodes cluster named pinot-quickstart in us-west1-b with n1-standard-2 machines for demo purposes.
Please modify the parameters in the example command below:
GCLOUD_PROJECT=[your gcloud project name]
GCLOUD_ZONE=us-west1-b
GCLOUD_CLUSTER=pinot-quickstart
GCLOUD_MACHINE_TYPE=n1-standard-2
GCLOUD_NUM_NODES=3
gcloud container clusters create ${GCLOUD_CLUSTER} \
--num-nodes=${GCLOUD_NUM_NODES} \
--machine-type=${GCLOUD_MACHINE_TYPE} \
--zone=${GCLOUD_ZONE} \
--project=${GCLOUD_PROJECT}
You can monitor cluster status by command:
gcloud compute instances list
Once the cluster is in RUNNING status, it's ready to be used.
4. Connect to an existing cluster
Simply run below command to get the credential for the cluster pinot-quickstart that you just created or your existing cluster.
GCLOUD_PROJECT=[your gcloud project name]
GCLOUD_ZONE=us-west1-b
GCLOUD_CLUSTER=pinot-quickstart
gcloud container clusters get-credentials ${GCLOUD_CLUSTER} --zone ${GCLOUD_ZONE} --project ${GCLOUD_PROJECT}
To verify the connection, you can run:
kubectl get nodes
5. Pinot Quickstart
Please follow this Kubernetes QuickStart to deploy your Pinot Demo.
6. Delete a Kubernetes Cluster
GCLOUD_ZONE=us-west1-b
gcloud container clusters delete pinot-quickstart --zone=${GCLOUD_ZONE}
