I'm looking to deploy a couple new QlikSense clusters into Google Cloud to handle various load sizes, from 20-300 concurrent users. Running QlikSense Enterprise for Windows.
Here are some of my questions - interested in input from anyone who has experience with any of this:
- Does QlikSense support automation of cluster creation, management, member server joining, etc?
- Have QlikSense or customers/community looked at Windows Container based deployment of nodes?
- What is the current capability gap between QlikSense Enterprise on Kubernetes, vs. QlikSense Enterprise on Windows, and what is the roadmap to address those differences?
- What methods exist for deployment of configuration to a QlikSense cluster? I understand there is good API availability for config (nodes, virtual/proxy, more?) – do tools exist to deploy/apply configuration to a cluster based on e.g. a YAML, JSON, or other type of configuration file?
- What are licensing options or best practices for having multiple pre-production instances for the purposes of testing infrastructure changes?
- Has anyone done GCP machine-type specific benchmarks for sizing purposes, or any other GCP specific infra optimization thoughts?
Thanks...
