Cloudera Management Console

The Cloudera Management Console is an administrative service used by Cloudera administrators to manage environments, users, and Cloudera services.

The Cloudera Management Console allows you to:

  • Configure SSO, manage users, and decide who can access which resources.
  • Register your existing on-prem Cloudera Distribution of Hadoop (CDH) or Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) clusters in order to burst your data to the cloud. In the Cloudera world, these clusters are called classic clusters.

  • Register your cloud provider environments (such as your AWS, Azure, or GCP account) in Cloudera and then launch Cloudera Data Hub clusters, Cloudera Data Warehouses, Cloudera AI workbenches, Data Engineering and DataFlow clusters, and Cloudera Operational Databases within these environments and determine which users have access to which resources. These clusters are attached to a Data Lake that runs within the environment and provides security and governance for all attached clusters.

  • Utilize services such as Cloudera Data Catalog, Cloudera Observability, and Cloudera Replication Manager:
    • Cloudera Data Catalog - A centralized management tool for searching, organizing, securing, and governing data across environments.
    • Cloudera Observability - A centralized management tool for analyzing and optimizing workloads within and across environments.
    • Cloudera Replication Manager - A centralized management tool for replicating and migrating data and the associated metadata across environments.

The following diagram illustrated the functionality described above:

In addition, the Cloudera Management Console allows you to:

  • Configure SSO, manage users, and decide who can access which resources.
