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
- Proficiency in basic Linux system administration
- Foundational 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 Installation Required: Students do not need to install Hadoop software on their own machines. A fully functional Hadoop cluster will be provided for use.
Participants will need the following tools
- An SSH client (Linux and Mac systems come with ssh clients pre-installed; Putty is recommended for Windows users)
- A web browser to access the cluster. We recommend 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
