Installation of Tableau server in AWS

Tharashasank Davuluru Mar 8, 2017 10:02 AM

Hi Experts,

We are installing Tableau server in AWS Environment. We are doing three node cluster environment and we have a 16 core license.

Below are the specification for AWS.

PRIMARY SERVER:c4.2xlarge INSTANCE

wORKER 1:m4.2xlarge

WORKER2:m4.2xlarge

IS THESE INSTANCES ARE SUFFICIENT FOR RUNNING TABLEAU SERVER ON AWS ? I KNOW THAT THESE ARE NOT SUPPORTED AS TABLEAU INSTALLATION DEPENDS ON THE PHYSICAL CORES.

Please let me know your inputs how it affect the tableau server in performance and issues/

Thanks,

Tharashasank

Hello Tharashasank,

Quoted from the following links.

Note: For Tableau Server 10.2, you need a minimum of 2 physical cores. If you are installing on an Amazon EC2 instance, this means 4 vCPUs. For more information, see Amazon EC2 Instances.

Since your instance types are,

c4.2xlarge 8vCPU
m4.2xlarge 4vCPU

they meet the minimum hardware requirements.

As for performance, it's hard to say.
Just start from minimum and adjust the sizing accordingly.

Some links for your reference.
