Get Started
While Tableau will perform the majority of activities necessary, the following infrastructure must be provided.
Infrastructure specifications
Compute: A location for hosting Data Connect. This can be a bare-metal or VM and can be located in a private network or in the cloud.
Operating System (OS): An up-to-date and patched installation of a supported Linux distribution.
Storage: Allocated storage space to host the OS, Data Connect and the extracts it creates when performing refreshes.
Network: The compute must be able to connect to your data source and two locations on the public internet.
Technical specification
Node specifications
| Number of nodes | Production workload minimum: three nodes per network per site. Development/test workload minimum: one node per network per site. |
| vCPU | Minimum: 8 vCPU Recommended: 16 vCPU or more |
| Memory | Minimum: 16 GB Recommended: 64 GB or more |
Storage (two disk) Important: The secondary disk must be raw and unformatted. | Root disk Secondary disk |
| Permission | Root access to host |
Linux Operating System
| Supported distributions | RHEL-8 RHEL-9 Ubuntu-20.04 Ubuntu-22.04 |
Networking specifications

Internal network | The cluster nodes will need the same network access to the data source as the one required by Tableau Desktop. |
| Tableau Cloud permissions | Site Admin role and the credentials to access the data source. |
| Data source | An authentication method for the data source that is currently supported by Data Connect and that is network accessible from the cluster. |
