Cluster Workflows Overview

Cluster Workflows Overview

A cluster workflow is a workflow that automates the creation of a cluster using a Create Cluster task, and then runs one or more mappings on that cluster. You can create a cluster workflow to run Mapping and other tasks on a cloud platform cluster. To use an ephemeral cluster to run mappings in the workflow, include a Delete Cluster task to terminate and delete the cluster after the mappings run.
The cluster workflow uses other elements that enable communication between the Data Integration Service and the cloud platform, such as a cloud provisioning configuration and a cluster connection.
A cluster workflow contains a Create Cluster task that you configure with information about the cluster to create. If you want to create an ephemeral cluster, you can include a Delete Cluster task. An ephemeral cluster is a cloud platform cluster that you create to run mappings and other tasks, and then terminate when tasks are complete. Create ephemeral clusters to save cloud platform resources.
You can use cluster workflows to create Hadoop clusters on the Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS cloud platforms in a Hadoop environment, or Databricks clusters in a Databricks environment on Azure or AWS.
