SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This guide eliminates the guesswork and manual coordination required to set up a DataSurface Yellow environment on a remote Kubernetes cluster, using SSH access and external services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Step-by-step remote deployment workflow for SSH-accessible clusters including pre-flight checks, DNS/CoreDNS adjustments, external Postgres, and Longhorn storage.
  • Structured checkpoints and verification steps to ensure each phase completes before the next (pre-flight, DB setup, bootstrap, DAG initialization, Airflow deployment).
  • Useful for operators provisioning remote environments where Kubernetes and DB resources are external and must be wired together.

Quick Start

Begin by establishing SSH access to your remote cluster and follow the guided steps to initiate the remote setup walkthrough.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up DataSurface Yellow on a remote Kubernetes cluster via SSH?

To set up DataSurface Yellow on a remote Kubernetes cluster via SSH, you must follow a structured, step-by-step remote deployment workflow that includes pre-flight checks, external Postgres integration, Longhorn storage configuration, and Airflow component initialization.

What is required to bootstrap Airflow components on a remote Kubernetes environment?

Bootstrapping Airflow components on a remote Kubernetes environment requires careful handling of credentials, network access, and bootstrap initialization to successfully install and configure the system after external database integration and Longhorn storage are correctly configured.

Can I use Longhorn storage and external Postgres with DataSurface Yellow?

Yes, you can use Longhorn storage and external Postgres with DataSurface Yellow. The deployment workflow ensures external database integration and Longhorn storage are correctly configured during the setup process, applying strict sequential execution and verification checkpoints.

How do I verify external database integration and DNS adjustments during a remote cluster setup?

You verify external database integration and DNS adjustments during a remote cluster setup by following structured verification checkpoints that ensure each phase, including pre-flight checks and CoreDNS adjustments, completes successfully before proceeding to the next step.

What are the limitations of provisioning remote environments using an SSH-guided Kubernetes deployment?

The limitations of provisioning remote environments using an SSH-guided Kubernetes deployment include the necessity for strict sequential execution and careful handling of credentials and network access to avoid failures during pre-flight validations and Airflow component initialization.
