Cloudera Live (Update)
I thought I had updated: Cloudera Live (beta) but apparently not!
Let me correct that today:
Cloudera Live is the fastest and easiest way to get started with Apache Hadoop and it now includes self-guided, interactive demos and tutorials. With a one-button deployment option, you can spin up a four-node cluster of CDH, Cloudera’s open source Hadoop platform, within minutes. This free, cloud-based Hadoop environment lets you:
- Learn the basics of Hadoop (and CDH) through pre-loaded, hands-on tutorials
- Plan your Hadoop project using your own datasets
- Explore the latest features in CDH
- Extend the capabilities of Hadoop and CDH through familiar partner tools, including Tableau and Zoomdata
Caution: The free trial is for fourteen (14) days only. To prevent billing to your account, you must delete the four machine cluster that you create.
I understand the need for a time limit but fourteen (14) days seems rather short to me, considering the number of options in the Hadoop ecosystem.
There is a read-only CDH option which is limited to three hour sessions.
Enjoy!
