Management Console

This release of the Management Console service introduces the following changes:

Enterprise Data Lakes

A new Data Lake shape called the enterprise Data Lake is now available for new deployments of Cloudera Runtime version 7.2.17. The enterprise Data Lake is a redefined version of medium duty Data Lakes that still offer failure resilience, but utilize resources and allocate memory more efficiently than a medium duty Data Lake at the same cost. For more information see Data Lake scale.

Medium duty Data Lakes deprecated

Medium duty Data Lakes are deprecated as of Runtime 7.2.17. You can upgrade a medium duty Data Lake from 7.2.16 to 7.2.17, but will not be able to upgrade it further. You can create a new 7.2.17 medium duty Data Lake through the CDP CLI, but Cloudera recommends using the enterprise Data Lake for new deployments. The ability to create medium duty Data Lakes will be removed from both the UI and CLI from 7.2.18.

CCM enabled by default in the UI

When you register a new AWS, Azure, or GCP environment in CDP via web interface, Cluster Connectivity Manager (CCM) is enabled by default and the option to disable it has been removed from the web interface. Note: CCM is currently disabled by default when registering an environment via CDP CLI. If you would like to register an environment with CCM enabled via CDP CLI, you need to explicitly enable CCM.

CCMv2 upgrade

CCMv2 upgrade is available for all customers. If your existing CDP environment was created with CCMv1, you will see a notification in your environment details to upgrade to CCMv2. See Upgrading from CCMv1 to CCMv2.
