What's New

Major features and updates plus known issues for Cloudera Data Science Workbench 1.10.0.

New features

  • Cloudera ML Runtimes are in GA and the default and recommended solution to run user workloads. New projects will be created with ML Runtimes configured by default and we recommend migrating existing projects to use ML Runtimes. Legacy Engines are deprecated and will be removed in a future release but workloads running on them remain fully supported.
  • New ML Runtimes 2021.09 are available including:
    • NVIDIA GPU edition
    • RAPIDS edition
    • Scala and R support kernels
  • New capabilities on ML Runtimes:
    • Register customized Runtime - Administrators can register an externally built Runtime to provide Data Scientists with a customized environment.
    • Runtime Catalog
    • Connecting to secure Docker registries - Administrators can now add basic Docker credentials for external docker registries.
    • CDSWCTL support for ML Runtimes
  • Applied Machine Prototypes (AMPs) - Applied ML Prototypes (AMPs) are now generally available inside the product, which provide end-to-end prototypes to help kickstart real customer use cases. AMPs effectively package pre-built models for data scientists to tailor for their own needs, as well as enable data scientists to learn how the different parts of CML work together.
  • APIv2 - A new API for operations on Projects, Jobs, Models, and Applications is now generally available.
  • Business user experience - A new user role, ML BusinessUser, provides restricted access to view Applications created in CML.
  • User and workload level environment variables now override global settings
  • Support for Kubernetes 1.19.15

This release fixed various bugs that are below.
