Cloud-Ready

Kinetica is able to be easily deployed and scaled in a cloud environment making it cloud-ready. KAgent can be used to automatically provision as many instances as desired, install Kinetica, and link several clusters of instances together for high availability (if necessary). KAgent currently supports provisioning to the three major cloud infrastructure vendors:

By default, KAgent will provision new VMs into your public cloud account before installing Kinetica. If you already have VMs provisioned in an AWS, GCP, or Azure environment, you can use KAgent to install Kinetica on these machines as if they were on premise. However, note that these VMs should meet Kinetica's system requirements.

Supported Regions and Instances

If VMs are already provisioned within your preferred cloud vendor environment or you'd rather KAgent install to VMs you have manually provisioned (e.g., using the on premise installation path), Kinetica recommends the following instances and setup per vendor:

Important

If provisioning and installing via KAgent, the optimal storage for the Persist Tier will be automatically attached to the provisioned instances

Default Security

VMs will be provisioned in the cloud with the most restrictive security possible.

Port security is configured as follows.

Ports	Protocol	Source	Description
All	All	Intra-cluster	Internal node traffic
22	TCP	Internet	SSH
8070	TCP	Internet	AAW UI
8080-8082	TCP	Internet	GAdmin, KAgent, Security Proxy

- Allow external access to external ports
- Allow access to internal ports within the same security group
Azure
- Allow external access to external ports
- Allow access to internal ports within the same VPC
