Could you already complete creating your first Apache Flink® cluster and submit your streaming job on it with HDInsight on AKS?

Well, if you are yet to do that - Let me help you get started.

• Make sure you’ve got your subscription and tenant ready for the lift off! 

• Tenant registration (For HDInsight on AKS app) steps & Feature registration (for first time AKS users) - read more in detail here (for the initial steps)
• Complete your pre-requisites, using the ready to use ARM templates
  • We will need MSI and ADLSGen2 for your first cluster creation, we will not use the Hive Metastore for this exercise. 

• Create your cluster pool

• Let's get started to setup your Flink Cluster

• You can opt-in to use hive catalog during creation, and provide the database details. 
• You can configure your TMs based on the SKUs you select on the configuration page during creation. Add SSH nodes to use the Web based secure shell and Flink CLI access.

• Opt in for Autoscale based on any predictive schedules that suits your event stream requirements.
• Integrate with Prometheus, Log analytics (provided you have enabled this on the cluster pool creation step, as shown above on cluster pool creation phase).
• Tag your resources.
• Review & Validate your creation, and kickoff creation!

Voila! The cluster is up and running in next few minutes.

• Next you can go to Flink jobs page to run your first Flink job.

   

• Download the sample Flink sleep job (sample job jar) and upload it in your primary storage account which is used during Flink cluster creation.
• Create a new job from the Flink jobs section by giving the details of the jar location.

• Hurrah!
  • Congratulations, on your first Flink job 
  • You can click the job name to view the JSON view of the job submitted anytime.
