@Mike Wilson On that note I managed to find another issue with the validator.   If you create a VirtualInstanceGroup similar to the python example here: https://github.com/cloudera/director-sdk/blob/master/python-client-samples/cluster.py#L159   And then change the name in the VirtualInstanceGroup to masters.1 (add an invalid character to it like a .) it will create the cluster successfully but then the user in the UI will not be able to repair nodes / grow / shrink nor clone the cluster.   It will also just gray out the continue button and provide no feedback to the user in the logs nor the UI.   Cheers! ...

Wow! I'm impressed. Thank you for the detailed instructions, and good work! I would like to reiterate that anyone who follows this advice does it at their own risk, just in case you missed jcpuskar's warning . 🙂 ... View more

Hi Alok,   Can you explain how you resolved the SSH key error. Am facing the same issue.   Thanks! ... View more

Sorry to drag up an old topic but I am hoping there is now some official guidance from Cloudera - or perhaps a reference architecture.    As soon as an organisation builds a Cloudera EDH cluster in one Amazon AWS region (or Azure or Google Cloud, or whatever) then they soon realise they might want another cluster in a different region or a different Availability Zone.    Personally I am happy sticking with one Region but multiple AZs - so I am thinking that I want one Cloudera Director, one Cloudera Manager, and separate clusters in each AZ.  ...

Yes, that is exactly what happened. Is there a way to adjust Director's settings so the Cloudera Manager instance will show up? ... View more

I have the beginning of Flask based REST api I was working on before my project got discontinued. I tried my best to follow the Director API routes. I'll upload it to Github and share the link here. ... View more

Can you give me the exact AMI IDs that you are using to try out? ... View more

Yoga,   I just tried to repro your problem and I see a BYON-specific instance template popup.   One thing to note that may be confusing you is that Director requires an Type and Image field even though these concepts are not needed in BYON. Feel free to put anything you want in those fields.   If you click on the "Advanced Options", you can specify the preferred hosts for that template. Director will attempt to pick a host from that list on a best effort basis.   David   ... View more

Indeed, thank you very much ! 🙂 ... View more
