Using other CDP services with Cloudera Operational Database

In the previous blog post, we looked at some of the application development concepts for the Cloudera Operational Database (COD). In this blog post, we’ll see how you can use other CDP services with COD. COD is an operational database-as-a-service that brings ease of use and flexibility to Apache HBase. Cloudera Operational Database enables developers to quickly build future-proof applications that are architected to handle data evolution.

Fine-Grained Authorization with Apache Kudu and Apache Ranger

When Kudu was first introduced as a part of CDH in 2017, it didn’t support any kind of authorization so only air-gapped and non-secure use cases were satisfied. Coarse-grained authorization was added along with authentication in CDH 5.11 (Kudu 1.3.0) which made it possible to restrict access only to Apache Impala where Apache Sentry policies could be applied, enabling a lot more use cases.

Cloudera Operational Database application development concepts

Cloudera Operational Database is now available in three different form-factors in Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). If you are new to Cloudera Operational Database, see this blog post. And, check out the documentation here. In this blog post, we’ll look at both Apache HBase and Apache Phoenix concepts relevant to developing applications for Cloudera Operational Database.

A Cost-Effective Data Warehouse Solution in CDP Public Cloud - Part1

This ‘need for speed’ drives a rethink on building a more modern data warehouse solution, one that balances speed with platform cost management, performance, and reliability.

Using COD and CML to build applications that predict stock data

No, not really. You probably won’t be rich unless you work really hard… As nice as it would be, you can’t really predict a stock price based on ML solely, but now I have your attention! Continuing from my previous blog post about how awesome and easy it is to develop web-based applications backed by Cloudera Operational Database (COD), I started a small project to integrate COD with another CDP cloud experience, Cloudera Machine Learning (CML).

Data - the Octane Accelerating Intelligent Connected Vehicles

The digital revolution is making a deep impact on the automotive industry, offering practically unlimited possibilities for more efficient, convenient, and safe driving and travel experiences in connected vehicles. This revolution is just beginning to accelerate – in fact, according to a recent Applied Market Research study, the global connected car market was valued at $63.03 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $225.16 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 17.1% from 2020 to 2027.

Data, The Unsung Hero of the Covid-19 Solution

COVID-19 vaccines from various manufacturers are being approved by more countries, but that doesn’t mean that they will be available at your local pharmacy or mass vaccination centers anytime soon. Creating, scaling-up and manufacturing the vaccine is just the first step, now the world needs to coordinate an incredible and complex supply chain system to deliver more vaccines to more places than ever before.

How to configure clients to connect to Apache Kafka Clusters securely - Part 4: TLS Client Authentication

In the previous posts in this series, we have discussed Kerberos, LDAP and PAM authentication for Kafka. In this post we will look into how to configure a Kafka cluster and client to use a TLS client authentication. The examples shown here will highlight the authentication-related properties in bold font to differentiate them from other required security properties, as in the example below. TLS is assumed to be enabled for the Apache Kafka cluster, as it should be for every secure cluster.
