The WEKA® Data Platform on Microsoft Azure provides a fast and scalable platform to run, for example, performance-intensive applications and hybrid cloud workflows. It can also be used for object stores, tiering, and snapshots using the Azure Blob service, for example, to create backups and DR copies.
WEKA provides a ready-to-deploy Terraform package that you can customize for installing the WEKA cluster on Azure. The WEKA cluster is deployed with a multiple containers architecture, in which each container serves a single process type: Compute, Drives, or Frontend.
The WEKA cluster is deployed in a single virtual network (VNet, similar to VPC in other clouds), where peering is not required. Each VNet has subnets, routes, firewalls, and an internal DNS. The networking uses UDP mode with an MTU of 1500 bytes, which means only one NIC per virtual machine is used.
Depending on the required security level, you can deploy the WEKA cluster using the Terraform package on one of the following subnet types:
Public subnet: Use a public subnet within your VNet with an internet gateway, and allow public IP addresses for your virtual machines.
Private subnet: Use a private subnet within your VNet that has access to an APT repository containing the required deployment packages.
