Overview

This four-day administrator course provides the technical background you need to manage and scale a Cloudera cluster in a development or production environment. This is the core administrator learning path curriculum.

Take your knowledge to the next level with Cloudera's Administrator Training and Certification. This four-day administrator training course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of all the steps necessary to operate and maintain a Hadoop cluster using Cloudera Manager. From installation and configuration through load balancing and tuning, this training course is the best preparation for the real-world challenges faced by Cloudera administrators.

Administrators who earn CCA Administrator Certification by sitting an exam subsequent to this course, have demonstrated technical knowledge in the ability to configure, deploy, maintain, and secure an Apache Hadoop cluster.

Audience

This course is best suited to:

  • systems administrators
  • IT managers

Skills Gained

Through instructor-led discussion and interactive, hands-on exercises, participants will navigate the Hadoop ecosystem, learning skills such as:

  • The internals of YARN, MapReduce, and HDFS
  • Determining the correct hardware and infrastructure for your cluster
  • Proper cluster configuration and deployment to integrate with the data center
  • How to load data into the cluster from dynamically-generated files using Flume and from RDBMS using Sqoop
  • Configuring the FairScheduler to provide service-level agreements for multiple users of a cluster
  • Best practices for preparing and maintaining Apache Hadoop in production
  • Troubleshooting, diagnosing, tuning, and solving Hadoop issues

Prerequisites

Participants should have basic Linux experience. Prior knowledge of Apache Hadoop is not required.

Thinking about Onsite?

If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.

Submit an enquiry from any page on this site and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
