Using the Static Installer

The static installer method of installation is applicable where the Big Data Protector must be installed on an existing EMR cluster. Using the Static Installer, users can enforce data protection policies at a granular level. This feature helps organizations to define specific rules for data protection based on sensitivity and usage.

The nodes in the cluster created using the static installer are do not have auto-scaling enabled. The nodes must be manually added or decommissioned depending upon the usage. The installation provides additional scripts to monitor and control the cluster behaviour. These scripts are available in the <installation_directory>/cluster_utils/ directory after installation.
