*Closed* - Cloudbreak on Azure: Support for "bring your own RHEL image" for cluster nodes

avatar
Contributor

A customer of mine will most likely bring their own RHEL 7.x custom image and put it in the marketplace, or use existing marketplace image with "Bring your own license" (BYOL) or "Pay as you go" (PAYG). Please share how any of these can be supported. Any best practices/tuning/conf that needs to be applied with the images?

From a roadmap perspective, would be great if there are options we can choose from and if HWX can have images in the marketplace that are pre-tuned/configured readily available for use. 🙂

One can burn their custom images for HDP over Cloudbreak with the help of this repository, there is quite extensive documentation there.

RHEL images can be burnt with setting the following parameters properly:

  • AZURE_IMAGE_PUBLISHER (OpenLogic|RedHat)
  • AZURE_IMAGE_OFFER (CentOS|RHEL)
  • AZURE_IMAGE_SKU (6.8|7.2)

The new images can be registered into Cloudbreak without the need to publish them into Azure Marketplace.

Hope this helps!

Hello, thank you for the feedback.

For clarity: are you looking to bring images for HDP into Marketplace and use those? Or use Cloudbreak (which is available from Marketplace) with images for HDP that are also in Marketplace? Just want to make sure I have the distinction.

Thanks,

Jeff

@jeff: The context here is Cloudbreak - provisioning HDP using Cloudbreak. Some of our enterprise customers have a requirement to use RHEL. Can Cloudbreak be configured to use a RHEL image available in Azure marketplace for the cluster nodes instead of the default?
