Deploy Cognite Data Fusion with the CDF Toolkit

The Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) Toolkit is a command-line tool for configuring, deploying, and administering CDF projects.

The CDF Toolkit comes with pre-configured modules that you can use to quickly set up a CDF project with demo data or modify to use with your organization's data. You can also create custom modules to match your detailed needs.

For each CDF project, customize the setup with project-specific configuration files that define the environment variables and list the modules to deploy.

A module is a bundle of logically connected resource configuration files, each of which sets up one CDF resource type. For example, a module can contain resource configuration files to set up the necessary extractors, extraction pipelines, data sets, and transformation resources for a complete data pipeline.

To reliably deploy to different CDF projects as part of your development workflow and release pipeline, we strongly recommend that you include the CDF Toolkit and configurations in your CI/CD pipelines.

📄️ Install and upgrade

Follow the steps in this article to install or upgrade the Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) Toolkit command line interface (CLI) and modules.

📄️ Configure, build, and deploy CDF modules

With the CDF Toolkit, you first configure access to the CDF project(s) you'll administer. Next, you define and configure the modules you want to build and deploy. Then, you run the cdf-tk build command to build the necessary artifacts to deploy the modules.

📄️ Customizing modules

The CDF Toolkit includes reusable modules tested in real customer projects. The modules demonstrate best practices and patterns for establishing access control and addressing common configuration tasks in Cognite Data Fusion.
