Customizing EBS Root Volume Size and Auto Termination Policy¶

• SSH into the instance where Privacera Manager is installed.
• Run the following command to navigate to the /config directory.

  Bash
  1	cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager/config

• Run the following command to open the .yml file to be edited.

  Bash
  1	vi custom-vars/vars.emr.yml

• To increase the EBS root volume size, modify the following property:

  Bash
  1 2 3	# Uncomment the below property to set EBS root volume to the desired size in GB. # By default, it is set to 20. EMR_EBS_ROOT_VOLUME_SIZE: "<PLEASE_CHANGE>"

• To set the auto-termination policy, modify the following property:

  Bash
  1 2	# Uncomment the below property to set EMR Auto termination time in seconds. EMR_AUTO_TERMINATION_TIMEOUT: "<PLEASE_CHANGE>"

• Once the properties are configured, run Privaera Manager to generate the updated emr-template.json file. Step 1 - Setup which generates the helm charts. This step usually takes few minutes.

  Bash
  1 2	cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager ./privacera-manager.sh setup

  Step 2 - Apply the Privacera Manager helm charts.

  Bash
  1 2	cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager ./pm_with_helm.sh upgrade

  Step 3 - Post-installation step which generates Plugin tar ball, updates Route 53 DNS and so on.

  Bash
  1 2	cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager ./privacera-manager.sh post-install

• After the post-install, create a new cluster using the newly generated emr-template.json file from the output directory.

To increase the EBS root volume size and set the auto-termination policy, update the resources configuration in emr template as shown below. Then, create a new emr cluster with this template:

  "Resources":{
    "EMRCLUSTER":{
      "Type":"AWS::EMR::Cluster",
      "Properties":{
        "EbsRootVolumeSize":<SIZE_IN_GB>,
        "AutoTerminationPolicy": {
          "IdleTimeout": <TIME_IN_SECONDS>
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
