Tableau Kubernetes

Tableau Kubernetes

Tableau on Kubernetes involves containerizing Tableau Server and running it within a Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that allows you to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Deploying Tableau on Kubernetes typically involves these steps:

• Containerization:
  • Package Tableau Server components (such as VizPortal, VizQL, Data Engine, etc.) into Docker containers.
• Kubernetes Cluster Setup:
  • Set up a Kubernetes cluster using your preferred Kubernetes distribution (e.g., Kubernetes, OpenShift).
• Container Orchestration:
  • Use Kubernetes manifests (YAML files) to define the deployment, services, and networking for Tableau containers.
• Persistent Storage:
  • Configure Kubernetes Persistent Volumes to ensure that Tableau data and configuration are stored persistently.
• Scalability:
  • Use Kubernetes features to scale Tableau instances up or down based on demand.
• Load Balancing:
  • Configure Kubernetes LoadBalancer or Ingress controllers to distribute traffic to Tableau instances.
• Networking:
  • Set up networking and firewall rules to allow communication between Tableau components.
• Secrets and Configurations:
  • Use Kubernetes Secrets to store sensitive data like credentials securely.

Please note that deploying Tableau on Kubernetes can be complex and may require expertise in both Tableau Server and Kubernetes.
