We are entering a new stage for our in-house analytics platform. The transition to the Maestro platform means that we are sunsetting Palantir Foundry. Palantir as a Data Platform ceases to exist for all needs, including Data Assets, Applications and Self-Service. Existing Data Assets, Applications and Self-Service reports were prioritized and migrated with Business and Technology teams, as communicated since June 2020. You can find information about the Maestro platform here:
As Palantir Foundry is being decommissioned, we have gathered the most Frequently Asked Questions on a 1-pager for you to learn from.
Q: I don’t have time to migrate my reports from Palantir
Foundry – What do I do?
A: We recommend you take screenshots or do a video
recording to document the logic in pictures and written
notes. You can create new reports in Power BI or DataIku as
needed. Please contact
AaaS
in case of any questions, or submit a ticket on
SNOW
for DSS related issue resolution.
Q: Who will migrate my reports for me?
A: There are support teams to help educate users and
provide training, to create but not migrate reports as was
the model for Palantir Foundry.
Q: My application/data asset is on the list which has
been migrated. How do I make enhancements or take control
of the future backlog?
A: The migration support from GDA has been aligned
with their respective platforms, brands or Data Leads. For
further Technical Development please go through
Maestro Wiki
and take control of your code through Maestro Azure DevOp
Q: Why was Palantir Decommissioned?
A: Palantir has been valuable to provide data and
insights with a low barrier for adoption to deliver basic
data products. However, to deliver the Ocean and Logistics
Integrator Strategy for our customers, better control of a
customer focused data platform was required, leading to this
decision.
Migration
Q: I need to model and wrangle data elsewhere, as it is
key to my role and the processes at my office – where do I
go?
A: Head over to
the overview of tools, where you can learn more about the toolbox as well as
get support
on whatever questions you may face.
Q: I need access to Dataiku DSS immediately, so I can get
started on my data related work – where is the request
form?
A: You can find the form
here.
As with any tool there are basic users who only need read access or advanced users who more advanced features. – DISCLAIMER: There are limited “Designer” licenses for SuperUsers only. Visual Designer licenses enable drag and drop, and are currently limited to 1-2 users from each group across the organization. Furthermore, there are 3000+ read licenses, which is sufficient for consumers of self-service data. Teams may request and fund additional licensing relative to their business needs.
Q: I only need to read the output from a project in
Dataiku DSS – do I still need a Designer license?
A: No, but an “Explorer” request
here
is required. If you already hold a “Designer” license, you
don’t need to apply for “Explorer”.
New Toolbox
Q: Where can I find an overview of the data available in
Maestro?
A: The Data Lineage is part of the roadmap, and for
Technical Users, Azure provides tools to navigate and find
that you need. You can also use the data overview to see
what’s currently available,
here.
Q: Where can I find the overview of ontologies and how
they connect to each other?
A: For a complete overview of Maestro data products,
you can see the Maestro Applications
here
(for technical users), or the Maestro Portal, where it is
visible here (for business users). You can also access a
catalog within
Dataiku DSS
Q: Where can I find the items, which got migrated from
Foundry to Maestro?
A: You can find them via the Maestro Applications
> Commercial by going
here
Data & Ontologies
Q: Where can I get support if I have questions or need
support?
A: You can always reach out to the
Platform Engineering Team
or the
Dataiku DSS Team
on the Yammer communities.
If you were not able to get an answer to your issue from the FAQs, you may create a SNOW ticket. Please notice that there may be some delays as the team is working hard on making the transition to the new platform as smooth as possible.
