Overview

Use this page when you already have an EKS cluster and will create or align supporting AWS resources to match Arize AX requirements.

Storage buckets

Create two S3 buckets:
  • One bucket for Gazette data.
  • One bucket for ArizeDB data.
Buckets can use AES256, KMS, or no encryption, depending on your security requirements.

Node pools

Use at least two node pools:
  • Base pool - general workloads and ingestion. Label nodes with arize=true and arize-base=true.
  • ArizeDB pool - ArizeDB historical workloads. Label nodes with arize=true and druid-historical=true.
If you cannot use separate pools, deploy on a shared pool by setting historicalNodePoolEnabled: false in values.yaml.

Storage classes

Use a default storage class. gp2 is preferred and used by default.

Namespaces

Use dedicated namespaces for Arize AX, typically arize and arize-operator. They can be pre-existing or created by the Helm chart.

Private VPC endpoints

If deployed on a private VPC, these endpoints must be reachable from the cluster:
  • com.amazonaws.<region>.s3
  • com.amazonaws.<region>.ecr.api
  • com.amazonaws.<region>.ecr.dkr
  • com.amazonaws.<region>.ec2
  • com.amazonaws.<region>.elasticloadbalancing
  • com.amazonaws.<region>.sts
  • com.amazonaws.<region>.ebs

IAM permissions

The IAM role used for Arize AX access to the ArizeDB and Gazette buckets needs these policy actions:
  • s3:ListBucket
  • s3:*Object
  • kms:Encrypt
  • kms:Decrypt
  • kms:ReEncrypt*
  • kms:GenerateDataKey*
  • kms:DescribeKey
  • bedrock:InvokeModel
If using IAM roles for service accounts (IRSA), the roles must have a trust policy that allows these service accounts to assume the role:
  • system:serviceaccount:arize:*
  • system:serviceaccount:arize-operator:*
If not using IRSA, add the policy actions to the role attached to the nodes. Pods must be able to discover the node role through instance metadata.

Optional image registry

An ECR or private registry is optional when pulling from Arize AI’s central image registry. If you use a private registry, set pushRegistry and pullRegistry in values.yaml.

Sizing

Contact Arize AI for the clusterSizing field. This field controls the deployment size and must align with the size of the cluster. Common values are small1b and medium2b.
