When a developer runs a job, the Secure Agent uses the
advanced configuration
that’s associated with the job’s runtime environment to create a fully-managed cluster.
The agent performs the following tasks:
Creates a cluster configuration that includes configuration information about the cluster. The configuration is stored using YAML files that the Secure Agent populates.
Provisions the necessary resources to create a cluster.
Informatica uses a secure pathway to fetch job-related container images for cluster nodes from the Informatica-specific JFrog repository. For clusters on Google Cloud, it also accesses the public internet to fetch files that are required to create the logical cluster layer on cluster nodes.
