Informatica requires connections to the non-native environment.
Create and managed the following types of connections within the Administrator tool:
Cluster connection
The connection to the non-native cluster environment. You can create a Hadoop or Databricks cluster connection. The cluster connection must contain a reference either to a cloud provisioning connection or to a cluster configuration.
Cloud provisioning connection
A type of connection that enables the Data Integration Service to contact and create resources on the cloud platform. Create a cloud provisioning configuration when you configure a cluster workflow. You create a cluster workflow to automate the creation of clusters and workflow tasks on an Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Azure Databricks cloud platform.
Cluster configuration
An object in the domain that contains configuration information about the compute cluster. The cluster configuration enables the Data Integration Service to push mapping logic to the non-native environment. Import configuration properties from the compute cluster to create a cluster configuration. You can import directly from the cluster or from an archive file. When you create the cluster configuration, you can also choose to create related connections.
