Learn about the new features of Ranger KMS in Cloudera Runtime
7.3.2.0, its service packs and cumulative hotfixes.
Cloudera Runtime 7.3.2.0:
- Ranger KMS in a federated deployment
- Ranger KMS can now be deployed in a federated cluster for key management.
- A data cluster is a cluster where application and data processing occur. The cluster stores
and processes actual datasets but does not directly manage encryption keys. A security cluster
(with the Ranger KMS service installed) is managed separately from the data cluster. It
manages the key lifecycle operations (for example, generation, rotation, storage). This
separation of tasks enhances security by isolating the administration of the data and security
clusters.
