Before you start

  • Complete Download and extract the distribution. Work from the extracted folder that contains arize.sh, arize-operator-chart.tgz, and your values.yaml.
  • Align your cluster with EKS cluster and AWS resources, or provision it with Terraform.
  • Contact Arize AI for clusterSizing. It must match your cluster capacity.
  • Keep the AWS quick start open as a template.
  • Treat values.yaml as sensitive. Store generated passwords and keys in your secret manager, not in git history.
For every field that must be base64-encoded, use:
printf '%s' '<plain-text-value>' | base64 | tr -d '\n'

1. Verify cluster access and clusterName

Configure kubectl for your EKS cluster:
aws eks update-kubeconfig --region <region> --name <cluster-name>
kubectl get nodes
Set clusterName to the EKS cluster ARN:
clusterName: "arn:aws:eks:<region>:<account-id>:cluster/<cluster-name>"

2. Seed hubJwt

Store the runtime registry JWT Arize AI provided under hubJwt, base64-encoded:
hubJwt: "<JWT_BASE64>"

3. Set cloud and region

cloud: "aws"
region: "<region>"
Use the same region as the EKS cluster and S3 buckets.

4. Point to S3 buckets

Set the bucket names you prepared for Gazette and ArizeDB:
gazetteBucket: "<gazette-bucket-name>"
druidBucket: "<adb-bucket-name>"
If your buckets use server-side encryption, set serverSideEncryption to the value approved by your AWS platform team. Leave it empty only when that is intentional.

5. Configure IAM

If using IRSA, set the role ARN that has read/write access to the Gazette and ArizeDB buckets:
awsServiceAccountRoleRwBucket: "arn:aws:iam::<account-id>:role/<read-write-role>"
If not using IRSA, omit awsServiceAccountRoleRwBucket and make sure the node role has the required S3 and KMS permissions from EKS cluster and AWS resources.

6. Set secrets, organization, and sizing

Choose a Postgres password and cipher key, base64-encode them, and set the organization and sizing values:
postgresPassword: "<POSTGRES_PASSWORD_BASE64>"
cipherKey: "<CIPHER_KEY_BASE64>"
organizationName: "<name of the organization or company>"
clusterSizing: "<sizing option>"

7. Set appBaseUrl

Set the URL users will use for the Arize AX UI after ingress and DNS exist:
appBaseUrl: "https://<arize-app.domain>"
You can update this after ingress is finalized, but the installed application should eventually advertise the hostname users will keep.

8. Optional private registry

If the cluster must pull images from your registry, set both registry values:
pushRegistry: "<account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com"
pullRegistry: "<account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.amazonaws.com"

9. Install with arize.sh or Helm

Using arize.sh:
./arize.sh install
Using Helm directly:
helm upgrade --install -f values.yaml arize-op arize-operator-chart.tgz
Both approaches install the operator chart using the same values.yaml.
