Resource groups

Cloudera can provision all the environment and cluster resources into your existing resource group.

Cloudera supports the following resource group-related scenario:

Table 1. Resource group related scenarios
Option Description Requirements Permissions Termination

Provide a single existing resource group.

Provide a single existing resource group during environment creation, and all Cloudera resources will be provisioned into that single resource group. No other resource groups will be created by Cloudera.

Do not use an underscore ( _ ) when naming the resource group, and use a short resource group name. The name must be fewer than 64 characters.

The scope of permissions in the role definition provided for Cloudera can be reduced to only the existing resource group where you would like Cloudera to create resources.

The resource group will not be deleted when your environment is terminated.

The VHDs copied into your resource group during environment creation will not be deleted during environment termination. Cloudera preserves them to speed up subsequent environment deployments.
