Altus Director support for Cloudera Data Science Workbench is available for the following platforms:
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Cloudera Altus Director 2.6.0 (and higher)

Deploying Cloudera Data Science Workbench with Altus Director

Points to note when using Altus Director to install Cloudera Data Science Workbench:
  • (Required for Director 2.6) Before you run the command to bootstrap a new cluster, set the lp.normalization.mountAllUnmountedDisksRequired property to false in the Altus Director server's application.properties file, and then restart Altus Director.

    Higher versions of Altus Director do not require this step. Altus Director 2.7 (and higher) include an instance-level setting called mountAllUnmountedDisks that must be set to false as demonstrated in the following sample configuration files.

  • Depending on your cloud platform, you can use one of the following sample configuration files to deploy a Cloudera Manager cluster with Cloudera Data Science Workbench.

    Note that these sample files are tailored to Altus Director 2.7 (and higher) and they install a very limited CDH cluster with just the following services: HDFS, YARN, and Spark 2. You can extend them as needed to match your use case.
