This four-day hands-on training course delivers the key concepts and knowledge developers need to use Apache Spark to develop high-performance, parallel applications on the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP).  Hands-on exercises allow students to practice writing Spark applications that integrate with CDP core components. Participants will learn how to use Spark SQL to query structured data, how to use Hive features to ingest and denormalize data, and how to work with “big data” stored in a distributed file system. After taking this course, participants will be prepared to face real-world challenges and build applications to execute faster decisions, better decisions, and interactive analysis, applied to a wide variety of use cases, architectures, and industries. Download full course description  What you'll learn During this course, you will learn how to: Distribute, store, and process data in a CDP cluster Write, configure, and deploy Apache Spark applications Use the Spark interpreters and Spark applications to explore, process, and analyze distributed data Query data using Spark SQL, DataFrames, and Hive tables Deploy a Spark application on the Data Engineering Service What to expect This course is designed for developers and data engineers. All students are expected to have basic Linux experience, and basic proficiency with either Python or Scala programming languages.

Overview The Cloudera platform is intended to meet the most demanding technical audit standards. The significant improvements in Cloudera architecture and components make Cloudera “Secure by Design.” This four-day hands-on course is presented as a project plan for Cloudera administrators to build fully secured Cloudera clusters.   The course begins with implementing Perimeter Security by installing host level security and Kerberos. Next, students protect Data by implementing Transport Layer Security using Auto-TLS and data encryption using Key Management System and Key Trustee Server (KMS/KTS). Following this, in the third stage, students control access for users and to data using Apache Ranger and Apache Atlas. The fourth stage focuses on visibility practices, teaching students how to audit systems, users, and data usage. Finally, the course introduces Cloudera practices for Risk Management in a fully secured Cloudera platform. This course is 60% exercise and 40% lecture.   Who should take this course? This immersion course is designed for Linux Administrators transitioning to Cloudera Administrator roles. Students must have proficiency in Linux (e.g., navigating the file system, using basic commands) and Linux text editors (e.g., vi, nano). Familiarity with Directory Services, Transport Layer Security, Kerberos, and SQL select statements is recommended. Prior experience with Cloudera products is required. Students must have reliable internet access to connect to the classroom environments hosted on Amazon Web Services.   DATE: July 21-24, 2025 Virtual Classroom, AMER 9:00 - 17:00 (CST TIMEZONE) Read more

This four-day instructor-led course begins by introducing Apache Kafka, explaining its key concepts and architecture, and discussing several common use cases. Building on this foundation, you will learn how to plan a Kafka deployment, and then gain hands-on experience by installing and configuring your own cloud-based, multi-node cluster running Kafka on the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). You will then use this cluster during more than 20 hands-on exercises that follow, covering a range of essential skills, starting with how to create Kafka topics, producers, and consumers, then continuing through progressively more challenging aspects of Kafka operations and development, such as those related to scalability, reliability, and performance problems. Throughout the course, you will learn and use Cloudera’s recommended tools for working with Kafka, including Cloudera Manager, Schema Registry, Streams Messaging Manager, and Cruise Control.
