Prerequisites

An AWS account with an AdministratorAccess policy to create the Managed kdb resources.
A KX insights license applied to your account. If you don’t have one see Activate your Managed kdb Insights license - Amazon FinSpace.
Inside a Linux system you will need to download code from the TorQ and TorQ-Amazon-FinSpace-Starter-Pack GitHub repositories - Instructions below.
If you are NOT using our Terraform deployment option to create and set up your Kdb Environment, follow this AWS workshop to do so.

Downloading the Code

TorQ

Take note of the latest version of code from the TorQ Latest Release Page - release name are v#.#.# e.g. v1.0.0

Run the following code - ensure you replace <copied_version_name> with the release version you took note of above.

git clone --depth 1 --branch <copied_version_name> https://github.com/DataIntellectTech/TorQ.git

TorQ Amazon FinSpace Starter Pack

Take note of the latest version of code from the TorQ-Amazon-FinSpace-Starter-Pack Latest Release Page - release name are v#.#.# e.g. v1.0.0

Run the following code - ensure you replace <copied_version_name> with the release version you took note of above.

git clone --depth 1 --branch <copied_version_name> https://github.com/DataIntellectTech/TorQ-Amazon-FinSpace-Starter-Pack.git

Zip them up together

Now we will zip these files together:

zip -r code.zip TorQ/ TorQ-Amazon-FinSpace-Starter-Pack/ -x "TorQ*/.git*"

Create and Upload code to S3 (For Non Terraform Deployment Only)

Two S3 buckets are required for this setup - one for the code and one for the data

Create your S3 bucket by searching for "S3" and clicking "Create Bucket"

Choose the same AWS Region as your AWS Finspace KxEnvirnment

Give your bucket a name

S3 general configurations

Unselect the "Block all public access" box

S3 Access Settings

Leave all other settings as the default

Edit the access policy

Copy the ARN of your S3 buckets in the console by navigating to your S3 bucket, selecting "Properties"

S3 Bucket Arn

Edit the Access policy of both S3 buckets with the JSON document:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Id": "FinSpaceServiceAccess",
    "Statement": [{
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "Service": "finspace.amazonaws.com"
            },
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:GetObjectTagging",
                "s3:GetObjectVersion"
            ],
            "Resource": "<ARN OF BUCKET COPIED EARLIER>/*",
            "Condition": {
                "StringEquals": {
                    "aws:SourceAccount": "766012286003"
                }
            }
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "Service": "finspace.amazonaws.com"
            },
            "Action": "s3:ListBucket",
            "Resource": "<ARN OF BUCKET COPIED EARLIER>",
            "Condition": {
                "StringEquals": {
                    "aws:SourceAccount": "766012286003"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
 }

Upload code to S3 code bucket

Upload the zip file created earlier to AWS S3 codebucket:

aws s3 cp code.zip s3://<you S3 codebucket name>

Upload hdb to S3 data bucket

Copy the pre-packaged hdb to AWS S3 databucket:

aws s3 cp --recursive TorQ-Amazon-FinSpace-Starter-Pack/hdb s3://<your S3 data bucket name>/hdb
