Connecting to a Cloud Location

A Cloud Location is a connection between Anzo and the Kubernetes (K8s) cluster that will host the dynamic Anzo Agent and Anzo Unstructured, AnzoGraph, Spark, and Elasticsearch applications. When you create a Cloud Location, Anzo discovers the K8s cluster and any internal container registries, authenticates the K8s API services, obtains the node pool or group specifications and retrieves pricing information from the Cloud Service Provider for the configured compute instances, and maps the node pool specifications to Launch Configurations in Anzo.

For instructions on deploying the K8s infrastructure to support Cloud Locations, see Configuring K8s for Dynamic Deployments.

The topics in this section provide instructions on setting up the NFS configuration for the dynamically deployed applications and creating a Cloud Location.
