Creating an advanced cluster

Creating an
advanced cluster

To create an
advanced cluster
, the Secure Agent uses the cluster operator role to store cluster details in the staging location and to create the cluster. The master and worker nodes use the master and worker roles to access cloud resources.
The following image shows the process that the Secure Agent uses to create a cluster:
The following steps describe the process that the Secure Agent uses to create a cluster:
  1. You run a job.
  2. The Secure Agent assumes the cluster operator role to gain elevated privileges on AWS. The cluster operator role allows the Secure Agent to assume the master and worker roles.
  3. If you create a user-defined worker role, the Secure Agent uses the worker role and verifies that the cluster can access staging and log locations.
  4. The Secure Agent uses the cluster operator role to store cluster details in the staging location.
  5. The Secure Agent uses the cluster operator role to create the cluster.
  6. The Secure Agent uses the cluster operator role to create cluster resources for the master node.
  7. The master node uses the master role to access cloud resources on services on AWS like Amazon EC2, AWS Auto Scaling, and Elastic Load Balancing to manage node elasticity and resource optimization.
  8. The master node uses the master role to access the initialization script.
  9. The Secure Agent uses the cluster operator role to create cluster resources for the worker nodes and creates an Auto Scaling group with the minimum number of worker nodes.
  10. The worker nodes use the worker role to access cloud resources on services on AWS like Amazon EC2 and AWS Networking to access compute and networking capabilities.
  11. The worker nodes use the worker role to access the initialization script.
For more information about how the cluster operator role, the master role, and the worker role access cloud resources in an
advanced cluster
, see IAM policy reference.
