Installation
Prerequisites and deployment options for installing Flink Manager alongside your Flink cluster.
Prerequisites
- A running Apache Flink cluster (JobManager REST endpoint reachable).
- A modern browser for the management console.
- A valid Flink Manager license (trial or enterprise).
- Outbound network access from Flink Manager to the cluster's REST port.
Deployment options
Flink Manager is designed to run close to your cluster. Common deployment patterns:
- On-prem: run Flink Manager on a host or VM in the same network as your Flink cluster.
- Cloud: deploy next to your managed or self-hosted Flink platform within the same VPC.
- Hybrid: manage multiple on-prem and cloud clusters from one central Flink Manager instance.
First run
- Start the Flink Manager service.
- Open the console in your browser.
- Enter the JobManager endpoint of your cluster when prompted.
- Apply your license key (see License).
One-click deploy
Flink Manager can also provision and manage Flink clusters across environments with a single click — on-prem, cloud, or hybrid. Configure your target environment in Settings, then deploy clusters directly from the console.
For production rollouts we recommend starting with the guided setup wizard and a trial license before enabling cluster provisioning.
