Did you know?

SDR requires additional enablement and licensing. Contact your Atlan representative for details.

Install Self-Deployed Runtime on your preferred platform to enable secure connectivity between Atlan and data sources within your infrastructure.

The guided install asks how you want to manage app lifecycle, which platform you run on, and how you procure images, then assembles the install steps for your setup. With SDR Orchestrator, you do a one-time orchestrator setup and then install and manage apps from the Atlan UI.

Prerequisites​

Before you install Self-Deployed Runtime, set up Docker Hub access with your organization's own Docker ID so your deployment can pull Atlan images.

Then turn on Crawl assets using Self-Deployed Runtime in your Atlan tenant. Workflows that use Self-Deployed Runtime fail until this option is turned on.

  1. If you are using the Old UI (Classic), from the left menu, click Admin.
  2. Click Labs.
  3. Under the Workflow center heading of the Labs page, turn on Crawl assets using Self-Deployed Runtime.
