The Web-Shell Service
The platform includes a web-based command-line shell ("web shell") service for running application services and performing basic file-system operations from a web browser.
For example, you can use the Trino CLI to run SQL queries on your data; use the TSDB CLI to work with TSDBs; use
- The web shell isn't a fully functional Linux shell. See Software Specifications and Restrictions for specific restrictions.
- To log out of the web shell, run the
exit command in the shell.
Configuring the Web-Shell service
Pod Priority
Pods (services, or jobs created by those services) can have priorities, which indicate the relative importance of one pod to the other pods on the node. The priority is used for
scheduling: a lower priority pod can be evicted to allow scheduling of a higher priority pod. Pod priority is relevant for all pods created
by the service.
Eviction uses these values to determine what to evict with conjunction to the pods priority. See more details in Interactions between Pod priority and quality of service.
Pod priority is specified through Priority classes, which map to a priority value. The priority values are: High, Medium, Low. The default is Medium.
Configure the default User functions default priority for a service, which is applied to the service itself or to all subsequently created user-jobs in the service's Common Parameters tab, User jobs defaults section, Priority class drop-down list.
Environment Variables
You can add Environment variables to a web shell service in the
Node selection
You can assign jobs and functions to a specific node or a node group, to manage your resources, and to differentiate between processes and their respective nodes. A typical example is a workflow that you want to only run on dedicated servers.
When specified, the service or the pods of a function can only run on nodes whose labels match the node selector entries configured for the service. You can also specify labels that were assigned to app nodes by an iguazio IT Admin user. See Setting Labels on App Nodes.
Configure the key-value node selector pairs in the
If node selection for the service is not specified, the selection criteria defaults to the Kubernetes default behavior, and jobs run on a random node. Node selection is relevant for all cloud services.

Associate the web-shell service with a Spark service
You can associate the web-shell service with a Spark service and select a Kubernetes service account that determines the permissions for using the
