Feast on Azure

This project provides resources to enable a Feast feature store on Azure. There are two options for operating Feast on Azure:

Feast Azure Provider is a simple, light-weight architecture that acts as a plugin to allow feast users to connect to Azure hosted offline, online and registry stores.
Feast on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a comprehensive solution, such as a Kubernetes based registry deployment, as well as a Spark based ingestion mechanism.

Feast Azure Provider

The Feast Azure provider acts like a plugin that allows Feast users to connect to:

Azure SQL DB and/or Synapse SQL as the offline store
Azure cache for Redis as the online store
Azure blob storage for the feast registry store

📐 Architecture

The interoperable design of feast means that many Azure services can be used to produce and/or consume features (for example: Azure ML, Synapse, Azure Databricks, Azure functions, etc).

🐱‍👤 Getting Started

If you want to install locally:

pip install feast-azure-provider

We recommend the getting started tutorial that walks you through an end-to-end example.

You can deploy the infrastructure for feast using:

You may want to first make sure your subscription has registered Microsoft.Synapse, Microsoft.SQL and Microsoft.Network providers before running the template below, as some of them may require explicit registration.

The only 2 required parameters during the set-up are:

Admin Password for the the Dedicated SQL Pool being deployed.
Principal ID this is to set the storage permissions for the feast registry store. You can find the value for this by opening Cloud Shell and run the following command:

# If you are using Azure portal CLI or Azure CLI 2.37.0 or above
az ad signed-in-user show --query id -o tsv

# If you are using Azure CLI below 2.37.0
az ad signed-in-user show --query objectId -o tsv

Feast on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

The Feast on AKS is a secure enterprise deployment on a customer provisioned AKS cluster in an Azure VNET. This deployment does not expose any public endpoints and leverages Azure Private Link over the Feast core and serving so that the traffic flows over the Microsoft Network. This deployment also supports secure connectivity from Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Machine Learning via private endpoints.
