This document presents the key concepts of the solution, namely the modern data stack architecture, the container platform, and the use of decoupled compute and storage. It describes the solution architecture and components, including the Dell infrastructure and the node configuration that support the functions of the modern data stack. The Dell storage configuration options for the modern data stack are described, including both PowerScale and ECS.
In addition to the modern data stack, the container platform architecture and components are described. The container platform in this architecture is Symcloud Platform, which is based on Kubernetes. Several examples of application bundles that can be deployed are shown, including Spark and Kafka.
Going beyond the Dell hardware infrastructure, the software infrastructure components that were validated are described, including the Symcloud Platform.
Lastly, guidelines are presented for sizing and scaling the solution based on various workload requirements.
