Optional tracks
- Cloudera Manager for cluster administration, monitoring, and routine tasks; installation and usage. In this track, all exercises and labs are performed within the Cloudera distribution environment (CDH5)
- Ambari for cluster administration, monitoring, and routine tasks; installation and usage. In this track, all exercises and labs are performed within the Ambari cluster manager and Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP 2.0)
Requirements
- Comfortable with basic Linux system administration
- Basic scripting skills
Prior knowledge of Hadoop and Distributed Computing is not required, as these topics will be introduced and explained during the course.
Lab environment
Zero Install: There is no need to install Hadoop software on students’ machines! A functional Hadoop cluster will be provided for students.
Students will need the following
- An SSH client (Linux and Mac users already have SSH clients; PuTTY is recommended for Windows)
- A browser to access the cluster. We recommend the Firefox browser with the FoxyProxy extension installed

Hands on exercises. Class should have been 5 days, but the 3 days helped to clear up a lot of questions that I had from working with NiFi already
