Cloudera on Cloud: December 2025 Release Summary

The Release Summary of Cloudera on cloud summarizes major features introduced in Management Console, Data Hub, and data services.

Cloudera AI

Cloudera AI 2.0.53-b273 introduces the following changes:

Cloudera AI Workbench

  • Added a new and dedicated Cloudera AI Overview page in the Control Plane. This page now serves as the primary landing page, replacing the previous Workspace Administration panel view.
  • Model endpoints now support the configuration of vetted environment variables using the UI and API. This enables specialized use cases, such as toggling reasoning output for NVIDIA NIMs.

Cloudera AI Platform

  • Added support for the AWS Bahrain region.
  • Added support for the Azure Spain region.
  • Added monitoring for metadata reporting, including the tracking of the workspace version (appVersion).

Cloudera AI Inference service

  • Added Non-Transparent Proxy (NTP) support.
  • Added support for AWS on-demand capacity reservation and capacity blocks.
    • On-Demand Capacity Reservations allow you to reserve EC2 capacity in a specific Availability Zone for a particular instance type without committing to long-term usage
    • Capacity Blocks are a specialized form of capacity reservation designed for short, fixed-duration, high-performance workloads, primarily GPU-based instances.

Cloudera Data Warehouse

Cloudera Data Warehouse 1.11.3-b122 introduces the following change:

Autorefresh for Let’s Encrypt Certificates in Cloudera Data Warehouse
Starting with version 1.11.3, Let’s Encrypt certificate handling for Cloudera Data Warehouse on AWS is improved. These certificates will now automatically refresh 30 days before expiration, ensuring continuous security without manual intervention. To refresh immediately, select the Renew Ingress Certificate option in the UI. The autorefresh behavior also applies to clusters with an environment version of 1.11.2 or higher versions. For more information, see updating the Let’s Encrypt certificate topic.

Cloudera Operational Database

For more information, see CDP CLI documentation.

Enhancements to the Cloudera Operational Database UI
When you create an operational database using the Cloudera Operational Database web interface, you can view and select an instance type for each node group. However, you can make these selections only when you choose the Custom settings for the operational database.

For more information, see Creating a database using Cloudera Operational Database.
