Optional tracks
- Cloudera Manager for cluster administration, monitoring, and routine tasks: installation and usage. In this track, all exercises and labs are conducted 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 conducted within the Ambari cluster manager and Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP 2.0).
Requirements
- Comfort with basic Linux system administration
- Basic scripting skills
Knowledge of Hadoop and Distributed Computing is not required; these topics will be introduced and explained throughout the course.
Lab environment
Zero Installation: There is no need to install Hadoop software on your personal machine. A functional Hadoop cluster will be provided for you to use.
Participants will need the following tools:
- An SSH client (Linux and Mac systems include this by default; PuTTY is recommended for Windows users)
- A web browser to access the cluster. We recommend using Firefox 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
