Cloud Execution for Desktop in AWS
Follow this guide to deploy the Cloud Execution for Desktop (CEfD) module for AWS private data processing.
Prerequisite
Before you deploy the CEfD module, you must complete these steps on the Set Up AWS Account and VPC for Private Data page...
Configured a VPC dedicated to Alteryx Analytics Cloud (AAC) as mentioned in the Create a VPC section.
Service account and base IAM role attached to the service account as mentioned in the Configure IAM section.
Successfully triggered private data processing provisioning as mentioned in the Trigger Private Data Handling Provisioning section.
Account Setup
Step 1: Configure IAM
Step 1a: Create Designer Cloud IAM Policy
You need to create a custom IAM policy. Name it AAC_CEFD_SA_Policy and use the following policy document. We recommend using the JSON tab instead of the visual editor. AACAAC requires some * permissions to run. Expect some security warnings when you create the policy.

{

}
]
}Step 1b: Tag the IAM Policy
Tag the custom IAM policy created in Step 1a.
Tag Name | Value |
|---|---|
AACResource | aac_sa_custom_policy |
Step 1c: Attach IAM Policy
Attach the AAC_CEFD_SA_Policy IAM policy to the aac_automation_sa service account created on the Set Up AWS Account and VPC for Private Data page.
注意
AAC_CEFD_SA_Policy is an example policy name. You can choose any name for the policy, but the name must start with AAC_CEFD.
Step 2: Configure Subnet
注意
If you've purchased Designer Cloud and EMR, then configure the subnets as mentioned in Designer Cloud and EMR Serverless in AWS. Both EMR and CEfD resources share the option subnets.
CEfD in private data processing environment requires 1 subnet group. The group contains 3 individual subnets, each in a different availability zone.
option group: Use this group if you enable Cloud Execution for Desktop within your data pocessing environment. If you enable this option, an AMI swarm runs in this subnet to handle Designer Desktop processing jobs that run in the cloud.
Step 2a: Create Subnets in the VPC
Configure subnets in the aac_vpc VPC.
Create subnets and tag them following this example. Modify values, as needed, to meet your network architecture…
CIDRs | Subnet Name | Subnet | AZ | Tag Name | Tag Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
10.10.0.0/21 | option | 10.10.4.0/24 | AZa | AACSubnet | option |
option | 10.10.5.0/24 | AZb | AACSubnet | option | |
option | 10.10.6.0/24 | AZc | AACSubnet | option |
重要
You must tag subnets with Tag Name and Tag Value as mentioned in the table.
Step 2b: Subnet Route Tables
Create the route table for your subnets.
注意
This route table is an example.
Subnet Name | Route Destination | Target | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
option | /21 CIDR Block <s3 prefix id> 0.0.0.0/0 | Local <vpce endpoint id> <gateway id> | Configure the same routes to all 3 AZs subnet routing tables. Basically, 0.0.0.0/0 should be egressing out to the public network. |
注意
Your <gateway id> could be either a zonal NAT gateway that is created per AZ or a transit gateway, depending on your network architecture. If NAT gateway, create NAT gateway per AZ for public subnets.
Private Data Processing
小心
如果在预配了私有数据处理后修改或删除任何 AAC 预配的公有云资源，则会导致状态不一致。这种不一致性会导致在作业执行时出错，或取消预配好的私有数据平面处理。
Step 1: Trigger CEfD Deployment
Data plane provisioning triggers from the Admin Console inside AACAAC. You need Workspace Admin privileges within a workspace in order to see it.
From the AACAAC landing page, select the Profile menu and then select Workspace Admin.
From the Admin Console, select Private Data Handling and then select Processing.
Select the Cloud Execution for Desktop checkbox and then select Update.
Selecting Update triggers the deployment of the cluster and resources in the AWS account. This runs a set of validation checks to verify the correct configuration of the AWS account.
注意
The provisioning process takes approximately 35–40 minutes to complete.
After the provisioning completes, you can view the created resources (for example, EC2 instances and node groups) through the AWS console. It is very important that you don't modify them on your own. Manual changes might cause issues with the function of the private data plane.
