  • Access to a Teradata Vantage instance.

Note

If you need a test instance of Teradata, you can provision one for free at https://www.teradata.com/try

System Requirements: * RAM: Minimum 4GB (8GB recommended for smooth execution) * CPU: Minimum 2 cores (4+ cores recommended) * Disk space: Minimum 10GB free (for Docker volumes and Airbyte/Airflow data) * Network: Stable internet connection for Docker image pulls and external data source access

For Windows users: This quickstart is designed to run on macOS, Linux, or Windows using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). * Ensure Docker Desktop is installed and running. * In Docker Desktop Settings, go to Resources > WSL Integration and enable integration for your WSL distribution. * Restart Docker Desktop for changes to take effect. * Verify Docker is accessible from WSL by running wsl -d Ubuntu -- docker --version (replace "Ubuntu" with your WSL distribution name). * If it is available, run WSL with wsl -d Ubuntu

Known Issue: Docker Rate-Limiting

At the time of writing this quickstart, Airbyte installed with abctl performs unauthenticated pulls even if Docker credentials are provided: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/46309. Since Docker limits unauthenticated pulls, a 429 Too Many Requests error may occur. If you encounter this error, launch Airbyte using the run-ab-platform.sh script as described in the Airbyte quickstart.
