Overview

The Tenzir Platform acts as a fleet management control plane for Tenzir Nodes. Use its web interface to explore data, create pipelines, and build dashboards.

The platform integrates three types of services, as the diagram below illustrates:

  1. Internal: Tenzir provides the (gray) internal services. They are core to the platform’s operation.
  2. External: You provide the (blue) external services. We do not ship these, so you must bring your own.
  3. Configurable: You can use our bundled (yellow) configurable services or provide your own.

There exist two ways to deploy the platform:

  1. Cloud: Deploy the platform on a cloud provider.
  2. On-premises: Deploy the platform on your own infrastructure.

For Amazon, read our AWS deployment guide for an integrated approach to deploying the platform services in your own account using a CloudFormation template.

For Azure and GCP, we are still working on providing turnkey deployment setups.

Follow these steps to set up the platform on your own premises:

  1. Choose a scenario: we package several deployment options that match common deployments.

  2. Configure the services: you must set up the external API endpoints so nodes and browsers can interact with the platform.

    You may skip some steps depending on your chosen scenario.

  3. Run the platform: After you create a configuration, start the platform.
