Creating a flow deployment
You are all set up for creating your first DataFlow deployment: you have a flow definition created in and downloaded from NiFi, a Cloudera DataFlow (CDF) environment, and the appropriate rights to that environment. All you need now is to follow a few easy steps to get your DataFlow deployment up and running.
Prerequisites
The CDF Catalog is where you manage the flow definition lifecycle, from initial import, to versioning, to deploying a flow definition.
