You can deploy the Informatica domain and Big Data Management on the Amazon AWS cloud.
Choose from the following options for deploying Big Data Management on Amazon EMR:
One-Click Deployment in the Amazon Marketplace
Deploy a default configuration of Big Data Management, including the Informatica domain and application services, through the Amazon Marketplace.
One-click deployment provisions cluster nodes with the latest Big Data Management software. The automated process assigns the correct number of Big Data Management domain and Amazon EMR nodes and installs and configures Big Data Management on an Amazon EC2 instance during the provision of cluster nodes.
The deployment automatically creates the Informatica domain, the Model Repository Service, and the Data Integration service, and assigns the connection to the Amazon EMR cluster for HDFS and Hive. It provisions the Amazon EMR cluster with HDFS and EMRFS for storage, YARN for processing, and Hive and Spark run-time engines.
Manual Deployment in the Amazon AWS Cloud
Deploy Big Data Management in the AWS cloud, leveraging Amazon EMR and other leading Hadoop distributions, such as Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR.
In this mode of deployment, you install the Informatica domain and Big Data Management on an Amazon EMR cluster. You use a local installation of the Developer tool to create and run mappings. You can use the native Amazon EMR Hadoop utilities, or access a different distribution of Hadoop that you installed in the Amazon EMR environment.
