Scared of deploying a cloud? Use Cloudera Manager!
Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We used Cloudera Manager to quickly deploy our ZooKeeper, Hadoop, and Accumulo clusters via a Python script. It is being used by a section of our DOD customer. It allows our customer to easily monitor, deploy, and manage their cloud services using an easy to use web UI.
Pros
- Cloudera Manager has an easy to use web GUI. You can start and stop cluster and services. It will start and stop services in a cluster in the right order. You can monitor the cluster, services, and physical host hardware as well.
- Cloudera Manager has an easy to use API that allows us to create scripts to automate deployment process.
- Cloudera Manager has an option to add additional services that you could manage via the web GUI.
Cons
- Cloudera Manager needs to be more agile with integrating other applications, such as Accumulo 1.7, to their software.
- Cloudera Manager can do a better job at explaining why a node fails to add to a cluster using their assistant.
- Cloudera Manager should show graphs only when there is data, instead of showing just an empty box.
Likelihood to Recommend
It would be suited for customers who feel more comfortable with using a GUI. It is less appropriate for developers or engineers who are comfortable with command line.
