What's new in Cloudera Data Warehouse on Public Cloud

Review the new features introduced in this release of Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) service on CDP Public Cloud.

What's new in CDW Public Cloud

Ability to select an instance type for Virtual Warehouses is GA
You can select AWS or Azure compute instance types, such as r6id.4xlarge or Standard_E16_v3, while creating a Virtual Warehouse, both using CDP CLI and UI. See Creating a Virtual Warehouse.

If you select a compute instance type both during environment activation and creating a Virtual Warehouse, then what you select for a Virtual Warehouse takes precedence.

Improvements to Impala Autoscaler Dashboard
The following inprovements were introduced for the Impala Autoscaler Dashboard:
  • Ability to select the log-level configuration for the autoscaler and autoscaler metrics containers.
  • A new “Understanding The Dashboard” page has been added which explains the metrics displayed on the UI and how they are calculated.
  • Empty data points that manifest as gaps in the graphs are skipped. Zero values are accurately displayed.
Ability to view end-of-support information through UI and CDP CLI
Cloudera Data Warehouse releases reach the end of support every six months. The Cloudera Data Warehouse UI displays whether your deployment is nearing its end of support time or is unsupported, enabling you to plan an upgrade. You can also view the upgrade instructions on the UI. The end of support information is also displayed when you run the list-clusters and describe-clusters CDP CLI commands.
Streamlined option for downloading Cloudera Data Warehouse diagnostic bundles
Cloudera Data Warehouse users can now easily download diagnostic bundles with a direct Collect option that reduces the need for prior time interval and log selection adjustments. This update enables faster, more efficient access to relevant diagnostic data.

For more information, see CDW Diagnostic Bundle Documentation, Downloading CDW and Kubernetes diagnostic bundles and Diagnostic bundles for CDW and Kubernetes.
