  • CloudWatch log groups.
  • AWS Secrets Manager.
• Access to the following AWS resources:

Snowflake requirements

• A Snowflake account with the following information:
  • Your Snowflake account name and region (found in the URL you use to log in to Snowflake).
  • Your Snowflake login credentials (Snowflake private key).
  • A Snowflake role, warehouse, database, and schema.

Connectivity requirements

• Access enabled for the IP addresses listed under the Hybrid SaaS section of Allowing IP addresses.

Git requirements

If you choose to use your own Git provider instead of the Matillion-hosted Git option, you need the following:

Setup steps

1. Register for a Data Productivity Cloud account.
2. Create accounts for users and admins who will be active in the Data Productivity Cloud.
3. Create an agent in the Data Productivity Cloud.
4. Deploy a Fargate agent in AWS using CloudFormation.
   • If you have multiple VPCs, or link your VPCs to on-premises environments for accessing privately hosted databases, APIs, and other data sources, the agent's VPC's CIDR and subnet's IP range should be compatible and properly linked with other networks, where required.
5. Create a project, making the following choices:
   • Select Advanced settings.
   • Select the agent you created and deployed previously.
   • Select the Git provider you wish to use.
6. Create an environment using your Snowflake credentials.
7. Set up secret definitions for passwords, API keys, and tokens.
8. Create a Git branch in which to begin pipeline work.
9. Create your first pipeline.
