xDP Dataplane Deployment Prerequisites

Overview

The xDP Dataplane runs on Kubernetes and follows an automatic deployment model where the Acceldata deployer manages the entire lifecycle of the base cluster and applications. Before initiating the deployment, a set of infrastructure, network, and credential prerequisites must be satisfied.

This guide consolidates all prerequisites into focused sub-documents. Work through each section and verify every item on the checklist at the bottom before proceeding with deployment.

Prerequisite Area	Description	Guide
Capacity Planning	Node sizing, concurrency targets, storage, scaling strategy	Prerequisites Capacity Planning
Kubernetes Permissions	RBAC roles, ClusterRoles, and service accounts required by the deployer	Prerequisites Kubernetes Permissions
Network Connectivity	Firewall endpoint whitelist and proxy configuration	Prerequisites Network Connectivity
PostgreSQL Database	Dedicated PostgreSQL instance for JupyterHub	Prerequisites Postgresql
Datastore Credentials	Access credentials for HDFS, S3, and ADLS data stores	Prerequisites Datastore Credentials

Pre-Deployment Checklist

Verify every item below before initiating the xDP Dataplane deployment:

Kubernetes cluster is provisioned with a minimum of 3 control-plane nodes
Kubernetes user has the required ClusterRole and namespace Role permissions
All required network endpoints are whitelisted in egress firewall and HTTP proxy
SSL bypass is configured for dataplane.acceldata.app if using an egress proxy
A PostgreSQL 16.0+ instance is provisioned and accessible from all worker nodes
An internal Docker/OCI registry is provisioned with push/pull operations verified
The Acceldata deployer is configured within the target Kubernetes namespace
Datastore credentials (HDFS, S3, ADLS) are collected for all planned data stores
Capacity planning is complete and node resources meet workload requirements
