Running on GCP
This quickstart guide helps you get started running Pinot on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
In this quickstart guide, you will set up a Kubernetes Cluster on Google Kubernetes Engine(GKE)
1. Tooling Installation
1.1 Install Kubectl
Follow this link (https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl) to install kubectl.
For Mac users
brew install kubernetes-cli
Check kubectl version after installation.
kubectl version
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
1.3 Install Google Cloud SDK
To install Google Cloud SDK, see Install the gcloud CLI
1.3.1 For Mac users
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
This script will create a 3 node cluster named pinot-quickstart in us-west1-b with n1-standard-2 machines for demo purposes.
Modify the parameters in the following example command with your gcloud details:
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}
Use the following command do monitor cluster status:
gcloud compute instances list
Once the cluster is in RUNNING 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:
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 ${GCLOUD_PROJECT}
To verify the connection, run the following:
kubectl get nodes
5. Pinot quickstart
Follow this Kubernetes quickstart to deploy your Pinot demo.
6. Delete a Kubernetes Cluster
GCLOUD_ZONE=us-west1-b
gcloud container clusters delete pinot-quickstart --zone=${GCLOUD_ZONE}
