This three-day hands-on training course delivers the key concepts and expertise developers need to optimize the performance of their Apache Spark applications. During the course, participants will learn how to identify common sources of poor performance in Spark applications, techniques for avoiding or solving them, and best practices for Spark application monitoring. Optimizing Apache Spark Applications presents the architecture and concepts behind Apache Spark and underlying data platform, then builds on this foundational understanding by teaching students how to tune Spark application code. The course format emphasizes instructor-led demonstrations illustrate both performance issues and the techniques that address them, followed by hands-on exercises that give students an opportunity to practice what they've learned through an interactive notebook environment. Download full course description   This course is designed for software developers, engineers, and data scientists who have experience developing Spark applications and want to learn how to improve the performance of their code. This is not an introduction to Spark. Spark examples and hands-on exercises are presented in Python and the ability to program in this language is required. Basic familiarity with the Linux command line is assumed. Basic knowledge of SQL is helpful.   DATE: April 27-29, 2026 Virtual Classroom, EMEA 9:00 - 17:00 (GMT+2 TIMEZONE) Read more

This four-day course teaches the architecture, deployment, and configuration of Cloudera Data Services on Embedded Containerized Services (ECS). Cloudera Data Services provide a state-of-the-art, low- code platform that unifies the entire data lifecycle, reducing development costs and accelerating the development and deployment of use cases.   The course starts by covering best practices for managing Docker images and containers. Students will then build a Docker private registry. This Docker private registry will be used to deploy a Data Services cluster on ECS. Students will install, configure, and validate Cloudera Data Engineering, Cloudera Data Warehouse, and Cloudera Machine Learning. Through hands-on exercises, students will gain experience with Kubernetes, install a Private Cloud Embedded Container Service (ECS), and deploy Cloudera Data Services. Additionally, the course covers networking and hardware requirements and explains how Kubernetes pods dynamically scale to support Cloudera Data Services. Who should take this course This immersive course is designed for Cloudera Administrators transitioning to managing Cloudera Data Services on premises. Students should have at least 3 to 5 years of system administration experience. Students must have proficiency in the Linux Command Line Interface and knowledge of Identity Management, including Transport Layer Security and Kerberos. Familiarity with SQL select statements is recommended. Prior experience with Cloudera products is required. Students need reliable internet access to connect to the Amazon Web Services environment used in this course.

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.
