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 end users. As an end user, you can use the web console to access CDP service web interfaces to perform data engineering or data analytics tasks.

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.
