Context Lake

Context Lake provides virtual private cloud services that enable independent management of:

• Computing: Nodegroups for SQL operations
• Storage: Database management and data synchronization
• Network: Secure connectivity and access control
• Permissions: Role-based access management

Each Context Lake instance can host multiple Nodegroups, databases, and synchronization tasks, allowing you to create multiple instances based on your business needs.

Creating a Context Lake Instance

Prerequisites

• An active contract is required before creating any Context Lake instance
• Access the creation interface from either the contract page or the "Context Lakes" page

Creation Process

1. Navigate to Creation:

   • From an existing Context Lake: Use the button in the lower-left corner of any region page
   • From the dashboard: Access through the main "Context Lakes" section

2. Configuration:

   • Contract: Select from your available contracts (identified by tag and contract number)
   • Cloud Provider: Choose your preferred cloud platform
   • Region: Select the deployment region
   • Name: Assign a unique name within the selected region

Managing Context Lake Instances

Once created, your Context Lake provides comprehensive management capabilities for all contained resources.

Access Control

The system automatically creates three default roles when you create a new Context Lake:

• Admin: Full management privileges
• DevOps: Operational control and monitoring
• Viewer: Read-only access to resources

For detailed configuration options, see Access Control.

Instance Operations

Renaming

• Update your Context Lake name at any time
• Names must remain unique within the region
• Choose a different name if conflicts occur

Deletion

Before deletion:

1. Carefully consider the impact on your operations
2. Remove all Nodegroups and associated resources
3. Ensure data backup if needed

The deletion process will permanently eliminate all contained resources and data.
