View Instance Types in Cloudera Operational Database

The Cloudera Operational Database provides a comprehensive Instances Overview page where you can efficiently view the available instance types for their deployments. This feature is crucial for understanding the resources allocated to your database and for making informed decisions regarding scaling and performance.

Filter Instance Types

On the Cloudera Operational Database web interface, click Instances on the left navigation to open the Instances Overview page.

This page helps you quickly find the instance types that meet their specific requirements. The platform offers robust filtering capabilities. You can filter instances based on the following criteria:

  • Architecture: This allows you to narrow down instances by their underlying processor architecture (for example, x86_64, ARM64).
  • Scale Type: Filter by the intended scaling behavior of the instance (for example, Heavy, Light, or Micro).
  • Storage Type: Select instances based on the storage type they use (for example, Cloud, HDFS).
  • Instance Group: Logical group of instances for easier management and identification within your deployments (for example, Master, Worker).

Supported Cloud Providers

The Cloudera Operational Database is designed to be cloud-agnostic, allowing you to deploy your instances wherever you choose. The supported cloud providers for these instance types include:

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
