Installation considerations for Datalore

Infrastructure options

Before the installation of Datalore Enterprise itself, prepare the platform where you want to deploy it.

On-premises

Install Datalore Enterprise on your local infrastructure.

AWS

To deploy Datalore Enterprise on AWS, start with AWS setup. Follow the procedure here.

Other cloud services

Below are some of the most popular cloud services you can use with the links to official docs.

• Microsoft Azure

• Google Cloud Platform

• DigitalOcean

Choose an installation type

The choice of the installation type depends mostly on your goals and level of knowledge and expertise.

For testing purposes

• If you are not experienced working with Kubernetes, we recommend that you go with the Docker-based installation. It's a lot quicker and simpler than the other one.

• If you have experience with k8s and experience setting up variosu infrastructures, we suggest installing Datalore Enterprise on a Kubernetes cluster

For production in use

We recommend the Kubernetes-based installation. Generally, it is required that the installation be carried out by an experienced specialist (DevOps, contract with good infrastructure-related knowledge).

Configuration procedures

Generally, the Kubernetes-based installation provides a wider range of configuration options. To configure the Datalore service after the installation, follow this procedure.

The other options are available for both installation types.

Use JetBrains hub

You can use JetBrains Hub (further in the article referred to as Hub) for user authentication and user management in Datalore. Among other features, Hub supports most popular auth modules.

• Use JetBrains Hub for Docker installation
• Use JetBrains Hub for Helm installation

Configure agents

Agents are virtual machines run by Datalore to perform computations. For each notebook to run, Datalore starts one more agent.

• Configure agents Configure agents (Docker-based installation)

• Configure agents Configure agents (Kubernetes-based installation)

Configure plans

Configure plans to limit resources that are available for Datalore users.

• Configure plans (Docker-based installation)

• Configure plans (Kubernetes-based installation)

Enable gift codes and email service

With the gift codes feature enabled, you can generate or redeem gift codes that allow Datalore Enterprise users to use more computation resources or storage. The feature can be useful when a user exceeds the limits under the selected plan and needs the extension of services.

• Enable gift codes (Docker-based installation)

• Enable gift codes (Kubernetes-based installation)

By default, emails are not enabled and email verification for users is disabled. To enable the email service, specify the following parameters for the respective installation type

• Enable email service (Docker-based installation)

• Enable email service (Kubernetes-based installation)

Enable user activity logging

Configure your Datalore to log the activities of your users.

• Enable user activity logging (Docker-based installation)

• Enable user activity logging (Kubernetes-based installation)

(Optional) Set up external agents

With external agents, you can run Datalore computations outside your Datalore installation.

• Set up external agents (Docker-based installation)

• Set up external agents (Kubernetes-based installation).

(Optional) Add Docker Swarm support

You can run your Datalore computations in a Docker Swarm, a cluster of physical or virtual machines orchestrated by the same configurations and set up to operate together.
