Deploying Polaris on Azure

Build and launch Polaris using the AWS Startup Script at the location provided in the command below. This script will start an Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server instance, which will be used as the backend Postgres instance holding all Polaris data. Additionally, Polaris will be bootstrapped to use this database and Docker containers will be spun up for Spark SQL and Trino.

The requirements to run the script below are:

  • Install the AZ CLI, if it is not already installed on the Azure VM. Instructions to download the AZ CLI can be found here.
  • You must be logged into the AZ CLI. Please run az account show to ensure that you are logged in prior to running this script.
  • Assign a System-Assigned Managed Identity to the Azure VM.
chmod +x getting-started/assets/cloud_providers/deploy-azure.sh
export ASSETS_PATH=$(pwd)/getting-started/assets/
export CLIENT_ID=root
export CLIENT_SECRET=s3cr3t
./getting-started/assets/cloud_providers/deploy-azure.sh

Next Steps

Congrats, you now have a running instance of Polaris! For further information regarding how to use Polaris, check out the Using Polaris page.

Cleanup Instructions

To shut down the Polaris server, run the following commands:

export ASSETS_PATH=$(pwd)/getting-started/assets/
