Athena

Getting Started

Fastest paths through athena-operator depending on whether an AthenaClient already exists.

This is the entry point for athena-operator if you are new to the Kubernetes flow.

End State

You should end up with:

  • Athena Gateway running in the cluster
  • an AthenaClient that is ready
  • an optional API key written into a Kubernetes Secret

Fastest Path If An AthenaClient Already Exists

If a platform team already created the AthenaClient, follow this sequence:

  1. Local cluster on Windows with kind if you still need a cluster
  2. Install operator
  3. Deploy gateway
  4. Using an existing AthenaClient
  5. API keys if you need a cluster-managed key
