CDP Public Cloud interfaces
There are three basic ways to access and use CDP Public Cloud: web interface, CLI client, and SDK.
Web interface
The CDP Public 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 CDP service resources for data practitioners. As a data practitioner, you can use the web interface to access CDP services.
The interactive homepage of CDP 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.
CLI
If you prefer to work in a terminal window, you can download and configure the CDP 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.
SDK
You can use the CDP SDK for Java to integrate CDP services with your applications. Use the CDP SDK to connect to CDP services, create and manage clusters, and run jobs from your Java application or other data integration tools that you may use in your organization.
