Step 1. Create Resource Group

Create the resource group where all the LHM dependent resources will reside.

...

  • 1 Resource Group that contains the following:

    • 1 Azure SQL Server:

      • Recommended Type: S3

    • 1 Azure Key Vault:

      • Recommended Type: Standard

    • 1 Azure Storage Account

    • 1 Service Principal in Azure AD with “ID Token” enabled

...

SQL Server database: used for storing the output of the analyzer and consumption data processors, feeds all the data required by the reports and dashboards

Step 2. Create Storage Account

Inside that resource group create a storage account, with two file shares called

  • logs

  • keystore

Step 3. Create a KeyVault

Step 4. Create a Azure SQL Server with Azure SQL Database

Create a Azure SQL Server and inside it create a Azure SQL Database with SQL authentication enabled.

Step 5. Create Database secret

The password you will save as a secret in the Key Vault with the following secret name:mssql-password

Step 6. Create a Azure App Registration

Create a Azure App Registration and fill in the Redirect URI with the following value:

...

Step 7. Edit App Roles

On the App Roles section in the Azure App Registration configuration panel, you can create the LHM admin and user roles which you can later use to control users access to the Lakehouse MonitorOptimizer.

Step 8. Create Client Secret

Create a client secret for your Application and save the secret in the KeyVault you’ve created with the following secret name msft-provider-auth-secret

Step 9. Create Managed Identity

Create a managed Identity that will be used by the Application to communicate to the keyvault and storage account.

Step 10. Provide storage access to the SP

In order for the app to use the Service Principal to access the storage account you’ll need to:

  1. Add the Contributor role to the Managed Identity you’ve created

    1. Open the Storage Account

    2. Go to Access Control (IAM)

    3. Click on Add and follow the instructions to add the Contributor role to the Managed Identity

  2. Add a permission mask on the container you’re going to be using in order for the Managed Identity to be able to write on it

    1. From the Storage Account view, open the Containers section

    2. Go to the container that will be used by LHM (the name of it is reflected within the STORAGE_AZURE_CONTAINER environment variable)

    3. Go to Manage ACL

    4. Click on Add principal and follow the steps to a mask for the Managed Identity

    5. Make sure, once added, that you check all checkboxes for this new entry: Read, Write, Execute in order to give it access to use the container

Step 11. Edit Keyvault Access policies

Add the necessary access policy on the Key Vault so the managed identity is able to list and read secrets from it.

  • In the Azure Portal, go to your KeyVault created in step 3.

  • In the left hand sidebar click on Access Policies

  • Click on Create

  • From the Secrets section check List and Get as the permissions to be added

  • Search for the Managed Identity created on step 9 and select it. Click Next.

  • Skip the Application step as it’s optional

  • Click Create

12. Configure SSL Communication

For SSL communication you can use one of these two options:

  1. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/api-management/api-management-key-concepts

  2. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-container-group-ssl

    1. recommended - tested and used

...

you need to create a keystore containing your server private key and certificate. The keystore will be named bplm.p12 and have no password.

Note: If this is not convenient you can change it but you’ll need to change the environment variables below as well.

Command you can use to generate the keystore:

Code Block
openssl pkcs12 -export -out bplm.p12 -inkey ssl.key -in ssl.crt

Step 13. Create YAML definitions
