Creating PNDA clusters

PNDA (http://pnda.io/) is a scalable big data analytics platform for networks and services from the Linux Foundation. PNDA requires a cluster to run efficiently. PNDA offers Python scripts (https://github.com/pndaproject/pnda-aws-templates) to deploy it over Amazon EC2.

Getting ready

Create an S3 bucket from https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home?region=eu-west-1. We are using EU (Ireland) as our default region for this recipe. PNDA applications will be hosted in this bucket. Replace the pnda-apps with the name of your S3 bucket. Since the bucket names are shared across all the users in the region, you may not be able to use pnda-apps as your Bucket name as it would already have been used by someone:

  # S3 container to use for PNDA application packages  
  PNDA_APPS_CONTAINER: pnda-apps
