Prerequisites
This page describes the prerequisites required for deploying
Cortex Framework Data Foundation solution content. Take some time to
familiarize yourself with these resources before proceeding.
Understand your business needs
Consider your business goals and requirements, and the data sources needed to
support them. When deploying Cortex Framework content you will want to
understand which data sources and workloads are required to meet your business
needs and are relevant for deployment.
Review available workloads and data sources
View compatible workloads and data sources that Cortex Framework supports
in Data Sources and workloads. Become
familiar with the type of data you want to work with (for example, data from
Salesforce, SAP, or other data sources).
Brush up on basic knowledge
Get familiar with some key Google Cloud services and components needed:
Learn about Change Data Capture (CDC) for tracking updates to your data. For
more information, see the CDC guide.
Explore the repository
The prerequisites outlined on this page are specifically designed for
deploying Cortex Framework Data Foundation content from the
official GitHub repository.
This repository contains essential resources to deploy Cortex Framework,
including configuration files, Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD), and predefined
data models.
Next steps
After reviewing these prerequisites, you are ready to move on to deployment:
- Establish workloads.
- Clone repository.
- Determine integration mechanism.
- Set up components.
- Configure deployment.
- Execute deployment.
