TDPaaS Deployment

Thales Data Platform as a Service (TDPaaS), also referred to as Data Management Service, is a SaaS component and an alternative to the Hadoop Services offered by on-prem Thales Data Platform (TDP). TDPaaS is server-less and eliminates the need for manual administration and management of the services. It can be used for PoCs in conjunction with DDC.

Prerequisites

• Ensure that your instance can connect to https://us.tdpaas.dpondemand.io over the standard HTTPS port 443.

• (Recommended) Whitelist the URL to facilitate communication with TDPaaS without issues.

Regions

TDPaaS is a cloud-based service for which you must choose a region to save the scan and report data. It is advised to select the region based on the proximity and sovereignty requirements.

Currently, TDPaaS supports the following regions:

• us-central1

• southamerica-east1

• europe-west3

Configuring DDC for TDPaaS

For configuring TDPaaS, you don't need to add any external connections or configure any settings.

To configure your CipherTrust Manager instance with TDPaaS:

1. Log in to CipherTrust Manager.

2. Go to Data Discovery and Classification > Settings > Data Management Service tab.

3. Select a region from the Region dropdown.

   Note

   Region cannot be modified once the TDPaaS is configured. It is advised to choose the region based on the proximity and sovereignty requirements.

4. Click Get Credentials.

   The credentials are generated and saved with the CipherTrust Manager to be used by Data Discovery and Classification. A unique Customer ID is created corresponding to the current CipherTrust Manager instance.

5. Click the Download Credentials button to download and save the credentials for future use.

   Caution

   It is recommended to store the TDPaaS credentials in a secure location.

   These credentials are essential for re-establishing the TDPaaS connection if settings are corrupted or lost. To restore the connection, you must upload the downloaded credentials when prompted by CipherTrust Manager. Without the credentials, restoring TDPaaS connection is not possible.
