Cloudera on cloud interfaces

There are three basic ways to access and use Cloudera on cloud: web interface, CLI client, and SDK.

The Cloudera on cloud web interface provides a web-based, graphical user interface. As an admin user, you can use the web interface to register environments, manage users, and provision Cloudera service resources for data practitioners. As a data practitioner, you can use the web interface to access Cloudera services.

The interactive homepage of Cloudera allows you to bookmark your favorite resources for easy access, quickly check the analytics summary of your applications, search Cloudera documentation, browse the latest blog posts and explore various solutions.

If you prefer to work in a terminal window, you can download and configure the Cloudera client that gives you access to the CDP CLI tool. The CDP CLI allows you to perform the same actions as can be performed from the web console. Furthermore, it allows you to automate routine tasks such as cluster creation.

You can use the Cloudera SDK for Java to integrate Cloudera services with your applications. Use the Cloudera SDK to connect to Cloudera services, create and manage clusters, and run jobs from your Java application or other data integration tools that you may use in your organization.
