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
- Basic scripting skills
Prior knowledge of Hadoop and Distributed Computing is not required, as these topics will be introduced and explained throughout the course.
Lab environment
Zero Install: There is no need to install Hadoop software on your personal machine. A fully operational Hadoop cluster will be provided for student use.
Students will need the following tools
- An SSH client (Linux and Mac systems come with built-in SSH clients; for Windows, PuTTY is recommended)
- 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
