A Ververica Flink compute source hosts computing resources (in CU units, including resource queues) based on Ververica Flink for a Dataphin project. Only projects with an attached Ververica Flink compute source can support the development of computing nodes based on the Ververica Flink engine. This topic describes how to create a Ververica Flink compute source.
Preparations
The current tenant has enabled Ververica Flink as the real-time computing engine. For more information, see Set the real-time computing engine.
Only accounts with custom user roles that have the Create Compute Source permission point and accounts with the super administrator and project administrator roles can create compute sources. For more information, see Data warehouse planning permission list.
Procedure
In the top navigation bar of the Dataphin homepage, choose Planning > Compute Source.
On the Compute Source page, click Create Compute Source and select Ververica Flink compute source.
On the Create Ververica Flink Compute Source page, configure the required parameters.
Parameter
Description
Compute Type
Select Ververica Flink.
Region
You can select System and then select the destination region from the list of regions provided by the system. You can also select Custom and then enter the Region ID.
Access Method
You can select VPC Network or Public Network.
NoteThis parameter can be configured only when System is selected for Region.
Endpoint
Enter the endpoint of the custom region.
NoteThis parameter can be configured only when Custom is selected for Region.
AccessKey ID,AccessKey Secret
Enter the AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret of the account that can access the fully managed Flink project.
You can obtain the AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret of the account on the User Management page.
ImportantTo ensure that the Dataphin project can connect to the Ververica Flink project, we recommend that you enter the AccessKey of the Ververica Flink project administrator.
Flink Workspace ID
Select the Flink Workspace ID for the Ververica Flink compute source.
NoteBefore you select a Flink workspace ID, make sure that you have correctly configured the preceding parameters. Otherwise, you cannot obtain the Flink workspace ID options.
Flink Project
Select the Project for the Ververica Flink compute source.
Compute Source Name
Enter a name for the compute source. The name must meet the following requirements:
It can contain Chinese characters, digits, letters, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
It cannot exceed 64 characters in length.
Description
Enter a brief description of the compute source.
NoteIf you need to create multiple compute sources in batches, you can click Create Compute Source to create them. You can create a maximum of 10 compute sources at a time.
Click Test Connection to test the connectivity between Dataphin and the account with the AccessKey ID.
After the test is successful, click Verify And Submit. The system verifies the connectivity of the compute source and creates it.
What to do next
After you create a Ververica Flink compute source, you can attach it to a project. For more information, see Create a general project.
