Instance Overview

Note

The Instance Overview component is only available for users with the role admin.

The Instance Overview component mainly serves to manage the local instance and its behaviour in a remote/federated workflow execution federation as well as the management of connected remote instances.

Local instance

  • comprehensive information regarding the specification of the local instance: instance name, network including protocol and port, token to establish a secure connection to remote instances, time of instance creation and time of last instance update

  • configurations which are used in the remote/federated workflow execution can be defined and modified:

    • SSL verification and fernet encryption for remote/federated communication

    • remote/federated syncing and execution privileges

    • permissions for the remote/federated usage of Airflow DAGs and datasets

Since the main aim of the Instance Overview component is the usage of the local Kaapana instance in a federation, the presented component also offers the possibility to add remote instances, which are described in the following. When it comes to connecting instance, there are a few important things to take care of:

  • instance names have to be unique in a federation of connected instances

  • when registering a remote instance you have to specify the remote instance`s name, network, token and fernet key exactly the same as these attributes are set on the remote instance itself

Remote instances

  • comprehensive information regarding the specification of the local instance: instance name, network including protocol and port, token to establish a secure connection to remote instances, time of instance creation and time of last instance update, SSL verification, fernet encryption, configurations of the connection remote instance regarding remote/federated syncing and execution privileges and permissions for the remote/federated usage of Airflow DAGs and datasets

  • on the local instance, the user can define and modify the following specifications of remote instances: port of the network, token, SSL verification and fernet encryption
