Overview
This Quick Start reference deployment guide provides step-by-step instructions for
deploying a cloud analytics modernization solution on the AWS Cloud with Informatica and
Tableau software.
Cloud analytics modernization is a powerful approach to fuel data-driven digital

transformations and migrations to the cloud. This integrated solution from Informatica,
Tableau Software, and AWS speeds the time to evaluate and deploy an end-to-end solution
for self-service cloud analytics. It enables you to connect to cloud and on-premises data
sources, and to catalog and profile your data assets for analysis and visualization. The Quick
Start includes the following services:
 Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, for secure data pipelines to cloud and on-
premises data.
 Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog (EDC), for data source cataloging that provides
provenance, lineage, and relationships for data assets. A plug-in enables users to
access business and technical context from within Tableau.
 Tableau Server, for secure, governed visual analytics.
Page 3 of 35
 Amazon Redshift, for fast, cost-effective data warehousing.

 Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) with Oracle Database, for
storing aggregate data for the Tableau dashboards.
This Quick Start supports the following key design principles:

 Data is easily accessible to analysts and other business users through self-service.
 You can analyze all your data across your software as a service (SaaS) and on-premises
applications.
 You can enable your users with self-service analytics so they can easily discover and
understand trusted and relevant enterprise-wide data for analytics.
 You can use high-productivity, GUI-driven tools that abstract complexity and reduce
costs.
 Data, which is a valuable corporate asset, is managed collaboratively, and supports your
data governance, data quality, and data security initiatives.
This Quick Start is for users who want to deploy and develop a cloud analytics
modernization solution, managed by their IT team, to enable their business.
Solution Components
This cloud analytics modernization solution uses the following products:
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services is a next-generation integration platform as a

service (iPaaS) that provides enterprise data management through a suite of intelligent
cloud services. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services enables you to build high-performant
cloud data warehouses, create and manage data integration projects, and orchestrate and
automate business processes. You can create processes that are event-driven or exposed as
APIs, and integrate, test, and monitor the API endpoints you consume. Informatica
Intelligent Cloud Services analyzes the state of orchestration and deployment activities
across all cloud services and provides in-depth, actionable insights. Informatica Intelligent
Cloud Services also provides analysis of enterprise health, domain-level analytics, job and
workflow statistics, and node-level resource consumption.
Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog (EDC) brings together all data assets in an
enterprise and presents a comprehensive view of the data assets and data asset
relationships. Enterprise Data Catalog captures the technical, business, and operational
metadata for a large number of data assets that you use to determine the effectiveness of
enterprise data. From across the enterprise, Enterprise Data Catalog gathers information
Page 4 of 35
related to metadata, including column data statistics, data domains, data object
relationships, and data lineage information. A comprehensive view of enterprise metadata
can help you make critical decisions about data integration, data quality, and data
governance in the enterprise.
Tableau Server is a scalable, enterprise-class analytics platform that enables you to

securely scale data and analytics across your organization. Users can filter and drill down
into data or author new content without being limited to predefined questions, wizards, or
chart types. They can share and collaborate with Tableau workbooks and data sources.
Distributed mobile and browser-based users can interact with workbooks published to the
server from Tableau Desktop or embedded into company portals. Tableau Desktop users
can leverage prepared data sources published from Tableau Prep.
The Quick Start also includes Amazon Redshift and Amazon RDS, which serve as data
sources for Tableau Server. For additional details on Quick Start components, see the
Architecture section.
Costs and Licenses

You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services used while running this Quick Start
reference deployment. There is no additional cost for using the Quick Start.
The AWS CloudFormation templates for this Quick Start include configuration parameters
that you can customize. Some of these settings, such as instance type, will affect the cost of
deployment. See the pricing pages for each AWS service you will be using for cost estimates.
Tip After you deploy the Quick Start, we recommend that you enable the AWS Cost
and Usage Report to track costs associated with the Quick Start. This report delivers
billing metrics to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket in your
account. It provides cost estimates based on usage throughout each month, and
finalizes the data at the end of the month. For more information about the report,
see the AWS documentation.

Architecture
Deploying this Quick Start for a new virtual private cloud (VPC) with the default parameters
builds the following cloud analytics modernization environment in the AWS Cloud.
Figure 1: Cloud analytics modernization solution deployed on AWS
Infrastructure
The Quick Start sets up a highly available architecture that spans two Availability Zones,
and a VPC configured with two public and two private subnets according to AWS best
practices.
The Quick Start installs and configures the following infrastructure components:
 Amazon VPC. This service lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS
Cloud where you can launch resources in a virtual network that you define. The VPC
provides a network architecture with multiple public and private subnets that span
multiple Availability Zones, so that AWS resources can be deployed in highly available
configurations.
Page 7 of 35
 Remote Desktop Gateway. The Quick Start deploys a Remote Desktop Gateway
instance in an Auto Scaling group in the public subnets and configures it with an Elastic
IP address for outbound internet connectivity. This gateway provides secure access to
Microsoft Windows instances located in the private and public subnets. The Remote
Desktop Gateway instance uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) over HTTPS to
establish a secure, encrypted connection between remote users on the internet and
Windows-based EC2 instances, without needing to configure a virtual private network
(VPN) connection. This helps reduce the attack surface on your Windows-based
instances and provides a remote administration solution for administrators.
 NAT Gateway. The NAT gateway instance in the public subnet enables instances in the
private subnets to connect to the internet or to other AWS services, but prevents the
internet from initiating a connection with those instances.
 IAM roles. The Quick Start configures AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
roles to provide the required access for AWS resources created through the Quick Start.
These IAM roles enable access to data in Amazon S3, enable Amazon Redshift to copy
data from the sample dataset’s S3 bucket and key prefix into its tables, and enable
association with the Amazon Redshift cluster.
AWS Services
 Amazon S3. Amazon S3 is an object store that provides artifacts necessary for the
Quick Start, including datasets, dashboards, and SQL required to configure AWS
database services and to compute aggregates for the sample dataset.
 Amazon Redshift. Amazon Redshift is a fast, fully managed, petabyte-scale data
warehouse. The Quick Start uses Amazon Redshift to provide full fact tables, ad-hoc
exploration and aggregation, and filtered drill-downs. Amazon Redshift is optimized for
computationally intensive workloads such as computation of aggregates and complex
joins, and supports analysis on both Microsoft Windows and macOS.
 Amazon RDS with Oracle Database. This service makes it easy to set up, operate,
and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides the Quick Start with high-query-
volume aggregate tables that feed scale-out dashboards. It is deployed in multiple
Availability Zones for high availability.
Tableau Services
 Tableau Server on Amazon EC2. The Quick Start provides a single-node
deployment of Tableau Server on Windows with the ability to host and serve analytics
dashboards and workbooks, which is supported by the trial license. If you have a
Tableau Server license, you can enter it upon deployment. For a Tableau Server
Page 8 of 35
standalone or cluster (multi-node) environment on AWS, see the Quick Start for
Tableau Server.
 Sample Tableau Server dashboard. Dashboards, consistent with the sample
dataset, demonstrate how to connect to multiple data sources in AWS to optimize
performance.
Informatica EDC Services

The following services are set up on Amazon RDS:
 Informatica domain. The Informatica domain is the fundamental administrative unit
of the Informatica platform. The Informatica platform has a service-oriented
architecture that provides the ability to scale services and share resources across
multiple machines.
 Model Repository Service. The model repository is a relational database that stores
all the metadata for projects created using Informatica client tools. The model
repository also stores run-time and configuration information for applications that are
deployed to a Data Integration Service.
The following services are set up on the Informatica EC2 node:

 Analyst Service. The Analyst Service runs the Analyst tool in the Informatica domain.
The Analyst Service manages the connections between the service components and the
users who log in to the Analyst tool. You can perform column and rule profiling, manage
scorecards, and manage bad records and duplicate records in the Analyst tool.
 Business Glossary. The Business Glossary consists of online glossaries of business
terms and policies that define important concepts within an organization. Data stewards
create and publish terms that include information such as descriptions, relationships to
other terms, and associated categories. Glossaries are stored in a central location for
easy lookup by consumers. Glossary assets include business terms, policies, and
categories that contain information that consumers might search for. A glossary is a
high-level container that stores Glossary assets. A business term defines relevant
concepts within the organization, and a policy defines the business purpose that governs
practices related to the term. Business terms and policies can be associated with
categories, which are descriptive classifications.
 Catalog Service. This service runs Enterprise Data Catalog and manages connections
between service components and external applications.
 Hadoop. An embedded Hadoop cluster uses Hortonworks, running the Hadoop
Distributed File System (HDFS), Apache HBase, YARN, and Solr.
Page 9 of 35
 Informatica Cluster Service. The Informatica Cluster Service runs and manages all
Hadoop services, Apache Ambari server, and Apache Ambari agents on the embedded
Hadoop cluster.
 Metadata and Catalog. The Metadata Catalog includes the metadata persistence
store, search index, and graph database in the embedded Hadoop cluster. The catalog
represents an indexed inventory of all the data assets in the enterprise that you
configure in Enterprise Data Catalog. Enterprise Data Catalog organizes all the
enterprise metadata in the catalog and enables the users of external applications to
discover and understand the data.
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

 Informatica Cloud Secure Agent. An Informatica Cloud Secure Agent is a
lightweight program that runs tasks and enables secure communication across the
firewall between your organization and Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services. It allows
you to connect to access and manage data in cloud and on-premise applications,
platforms, databases, and flat files. The Informatica Cloud Secure Agent is also deployed
on the Informatica EC2 node.
Quick Start Dataset

The Quick Start includes a sample dataset that demonstrates the cloud analytics workflow.
The Quick Start is designed so that you can replace this dataset as needed for your use case,
as explained later in this guide. The dataset is stored in Amazon S3 and includes the
following data components and artifacts:
 Quick Start seed data in CSV format.
 Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services mapping that transforms CSV seed data and
stores it in an Amazon Redshift target: S3 to Redshift_ITQS
 Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services mapping that aggregates Amazon Redshift
records and stores it in an Oracle target: Aggregate Store Sales_ITQS
Tableau Server uses Amazon Redshift and Oracle as data sources for visualization.

Deployment Options
This Quick Start provides two deployment options:
 Deployment of the cloud analytics modernization solution into a new VPC
(end-to-end deployment). This option builds a new VPC with public and private
subnets, and then deploys the cloud analytics modernization solution into that
infrastructure.
 Deployment of the cloud analytics modernization solution into an existing
VPC. This option provisions cloud analytics components into your existing AWS
infrastructure.
The Quick Start provides separate templates for these options. It also lets you configure
Amazon Redshift, Amazon RDS, Informatica, and Tableau settings, as discussed later in
this guide.

Deployment Steps
Step 1. Prepare Your AWS Account
1. If you don’t already have an AWS account, create one at https://aws.amazon.com by
following the on-screen instructions.
2. Use the region selector in the navigation bar to choose the AWS Region where you want
to deploy the cloud analytics modernization solution on AWS.
3. Create a key pair in your preferred region.
When you log in to any Amazon EC2 system, you use a password file for authentication.
The file is called a private key file and has a file name extension of .pem. If you do not
have an existing .pem key to use, follow the instructions in the AWS documentation to
create a key pair.
Note Your administrator might ask you to use a particular existing key pair.
When you create a key pair, you save the .pem file to your desktop system.
Simultaneously, AWS saves the key pair to your account. Make a note of the key pair
that you want to use for the cloud analytics modernization instance, so that you can
provide the key pair name during the deployment in step 3.
4. If necessary, request a service limit increase for the following instance types. You might
need to do this if you already have existing deployments that use these instance types,
and you think you might exceed the default limits with this reference deployment.
Component Instance type
Informatica domain, EDC c4.4xlarge

services, Secure Agent
Embedded metadata cluster c4.8xlarge
Tableau Server m5.4xlarge
Remote Desktop for Tableau t2.large
Oracle RDS db.m4.2xlarge
Amazon Redshift cluster dc1.large-1 node
Page 12 of 35
Step 2. Register at Informatica Marketplace

1. If you haven’t already subscribed to Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, Informatica
Enterprise Data Catalog, and Tableau Server, register at Informatica Marketplace.
2. Confirm your account through the verification email and input your password when
prompted.
Step 3. Launch the Quick Start

Note You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services used while running this
Quick Start reference deployment. There is no additional cost for using this Quick
Start. For full details, see the pricing pages for each AWS service you will be using in
this Quick Start. Prices are subject to change.
1. Choose one of the following options to launch the AWS CloudFormation template into
your AWS account. For help choosing an option, see deployment options earlier in this
guide.
Option 1 Option 2
Deploy cloud analytics Deploy cloud analytics
modernization into a new VPC modernization into an existing
on AWS VPC on AWS
Launch Launch
Important If you’re deploying the cloud analytics modernization solution into an

existing VPC, make sure that your VPC has two private subnets and one public
subnet in different Availability Zones. These subnets require NAT gateways or NAT
instances in their route tables, to allow the instances to download packages and
software without exposing them to the Internet. You’ll also need the domain name
option configured in the DHCP options as explained in the Amazon VPC
documentation. You’ll be prompted for your VPC settings when you launch the Quick
Start.
Each deployment takes about two hours to complete.

2. Check the region that’s displayed in the upper-right corner of the navigation bar and
change it if necessary. This is where the network infrastructure for the cloud analytics
Page 13 of 35
modernization solution will be built. The template is launched in the US East (Ohio)
Region by default.
3. On the Select Template page, keep the default setting for the template URL, and then
choose Next.
4. On the Specify Details page, change the stack name if needed. Review the parameters
for the template. Provide values for the parameters that require input. For all other
parameters, review the default settings and customize them as necessary. When you
finish reviewing and customizing the parameters, choose Next.
In the following tables, parameters are listed by category and described separately for
the two deployment options:
– Parameters for deploying components into a new VPC
– Parameters for deploying components into an existing VPC
Note The templates for the two scenarios share most, but not all, of the same
parameters. For example, the template for an existing VPC prompts you for the VPC
and subnet IDs in your existing VPC environment. You can also download the
templates and edit them to create your own parameters based on your specific
deployment scenario.

 Cloud Analytics Modernization on the AWS Cloud User Guide (Informatica website)
Page 29 of 35
Manual Cleanup
When you have finished using the AWS environment built by this Quick Start, delete the
resources to stop incurring AWS charges. To delete the resources, follow these steps:
1. Delete the AWS CloudFormation stack. In the AWS CloudFormation console, choose the
main stack name, and then choose Actions, Delete Stack.
Figure 9: Stack deletion process
2. In the Amazon S3 console, choose the S3 bucket located at stack-name-s3bucketstack-

auto-generated-unique-string, and delete the EDC installation, Hadoop cluster,
Tableau cluster, Oracle table and database, and Amazon Redshift files in the bucket.
3. If you used an existing Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services organization, delete the S3
to Redshift_ITQS and Aggregate Store Sales_ITQS mappings and mapping tasks from
the Default project folder in Data Integration:
a. Select the checkbox to the left of the mapping tasks. From the dropdown menu,
choose Delete.
Page 30 of 35
Figure 10: Mapping task deletion
b. Delete the mappings.

4. Navigate to the Informatica Administrator console. Choose Connections in the
navigation pane to delete the following connections:
- AWS Oracle Quick Start_ITQS
- AWS Redshift Quick Start_ITQS
- AWS S3 Quick Start_ITQS
- AWS Tableau Quick Start_ITQS
To delete the connections, choose the trash bin icon to the left of each connection.

Troubleshooting
Q. I encountered a CREATE_FAILED error when I launched the Quick Start.
A. If you encounter this error in the AWS CloudFormation console, we recommend that you
relaunch the template with Rollback on failure set to No. (This setting is under
Advanced in the AWS CloudFormation console, Options page.) With this setting, the
stack’s state will be retained and the instance will be left running, so you can troubleshoot
the issue. (You'll want to look at the log files in %ProgramFiles%\Amazon\EC2ConfigService
and C:\cfn\log.)
Important When you set Rollback on failure to No, you’ll continue to

incur AWS charges for this stack. Please make sure to delete the stack when
you’ve finished troubleshooting.
For additional information, see Troubleshooting AWS CloudFormation on the AWS

website.
Q. I encountered an error while installing Informatica domain and services.

A. We recommend that you view the /installation.log log file to get more information
about the errors you encountered.
Q. I encountered a size limitation error when I deployed the AWS Cloudformation

templates.
A. We recommend that you launch the Quick Start templates from the location we have
provided or from another S3 bucket. If you deploy the templates from a local copy on your
computer or from a non-S3 location, you might encounter template size limitations when
you create the stack. For more information about AWS CloudFormation limits, see the AWS
documentation.
Q. I encountered an address limit error when I launched Amazon EC2.

A. Make sure that you are registered and the required licenses are assigned to your
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services account before launching the Quick Start.
Q. I encountered an AWS CloudFormation script rollback within minutes of launch.

A. Your user account might not have the required connector licenses, or your Informatica
account might already have mappings and connections with an _ITQS suffix. We
recommend that you add the required connector licenses if you are using your existing
Informatica account. Remove all mappings and connections that have the _ITQS suffix if
you are reusing the same Informatica account in AWS CloudFormation.
Page 32 of 35
Q. The Tableau artifacts created by the Quick Start don’t appear.

A. You have exceeded your daily limit of 1,000,000 job rows. This error will be visible in
the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services console as the Mapping Configuration Tasks
(MCTs) fail. We recommend that you use a valid Informatica account that has no upper
limit on transaction rows.
Q. I am in São Paulo and NAT Gateway is not available in my Availability Zone.

A. Supported Availability Zones for creating NAT gateways are sa-east-1a and sa-east-
1c. For the Availability Zones parameter, choose sa-east-1a and sa-east-1c, not sa-
east-1b, from the list.
Q. The stack creation completed successfully but Tableau visualization is empty.

A. If you have subscribed to multiple services and connectors from Informatica Intelligent
Cloud Services, mapping tasks might fail to load required sample data into Amazon
Redshift and the Oracle database used for Tableau visualization. Follow the instructions in
the Informatica Knowledge Base to increase the Java heap space, and rerun the mappings.
Q. I encountered an “Internal Failures” error during launch.

A. Internal failures might occur when the AWS CloudFormation service experiences
increased error rates across all stacks. Try launching the Quick Start in another region or at
another time. If the issue persists, contact AWS Support.
Q. The Tableau Server stack fails with Tableau license expiration.

A. The 14-day trial license for Tableau Server associated with your email address has
expired. Use a unique email address or contact Tableau Support.
Q. The Lambda stack fails although Informatica connections, mappings, and license are
present.
A. The Lambda stack will fail if Informatica connections are already present. We
recommend that you delete any duplicate connections in your Informatica Intelligent Cloud
Services environment and try again.
Q. Can I provision the instances for high availability and disaster recovery?
A. Yes, you can configure alarms by using Amazon CloudWatch, and recovery actions could
be triggered in case of a system crash. For details and how-to steps, see the AWS
documentation.
