Note:
It is recommended to use a separate EFS for Snapshot Manager deployment and primary server catalog.
A Kubernetes Secret that contains the credentials is required.
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service containerSnapshot Manager registry (ECR)
Use existing ECR or create a new one. Your Kubernetes cluster must be able to access this registry to pull the images from.
Node group
You must have a dedicated node group created for Snapshot Managers scalable workflow and data movement services. It is recommended to use the NBU primary server's node group for Snapshot Manager's control services.
User must assign same IAM role with required permissions to both the node groups, that is control node group and data node group.
Client machine to access EKS cluster
A separate computer that can access and manage your EKS cluster and ECR.
It must have Linux operating system.
It must have Docker daemon, the Kubernetes command-line tool (kubectl), and AWS CLI installed.
The Docker storage size must be more than 6 GB. The version of kubectl must be v1.21.x or later. The version of AWS CLI must meet the EKS cluster requirements.
If EKS is a private cluster, see Create a private Amazon EKS Service cluster.
Static Internal IPs
If the internal IPs are used, reserve the internal IPs (avoid the IPs that are reserved by other systems) for Snapshot Manager and add forward and reverse DNS records for all of them in your DNS configuration.
The AWS static public IPs can be used but is not recommended.
