What are Cloudera Hybrid Environments and Cloudera Hybrid Data Hubs?

Cloudera Hybrid Cloud deployments combine cloud-native elasticity, including provisioning and autoscaling, with the built-in capability to securely access datasets directly from an associated on-premises cluster.

This architectural design provides a native solution for temporarily extending an on-premises cluster, allowing organizations to burst workloads to the cloud seamlessly.
  1. Centralized Governance: All metadata, access permissions, and governance rules remain centralized on-premises and are enforced consistently, whether the workload runs on-prem or in the cloud.
  2. No Data Migration: You avoid the cost and complexity of application redesign and data migration.
  3. Dynamic Workload Movement: You can dynamically "burst" workloads to the cloud to handle temporary needs without ever creating a second, out-of-sync copy of your data.
Besides cloud bursting, Cloudera Hybrid Environments and Data Hubs can also be utilized for the following:
  • Strategic Workload Isolation: Maintaining critical workload SLAs by offloading additional workloads to the cloud.
  • Accelerating Software Development: Creating instant development environments that leverage zero-copy data access from your on-prem source.
