CCA 131 – Cloudera Certified Hadoop and Spark Administrator
CCA 131 is a certification exam conducted by leading big data vendor, Cloudera. This online proctored exam is scenario-based which means it is very hands-on. You will be given a multi-node cluster and will need to take care of given tasks.
To prepare for certification, one must have practical experience in building and managing clusters. However, with limited infrastructure, it is difficult to train on a laptop. We understand this issue and created the
This course is designed for professionals with zero experience to already qualified professionals to enhance their learning. The practical session covers the end-to-end configuration of Cloudera Cluster. We will be using AWS EC2 instances to deploy the cluster.
The course is intended for software engineers, system analysts, database administrators, Devops engineers and system administrators who want to learn more about the Big Data ecosystem with Cloudera. Other IT professionals may take this course as well, but may need to do additional work to understand some of the advanced concepts.
Cloudera being the market leader in the field of Big Data, the administration of Hadoop Cloudera brings enormous employment opportunities in the field of Cloudera and Big Data. Covers all the skills required as follows for CCA131 certification
Installation – Demonstration and installation of Cloudera Manager, Cloudera Data Hadoop (CDH) and Hadoop Ecosystem components
Configure – Basic to advanced configurations to configure Cloudera Manager, Namenode High Availability (HA), Resource Manager High Availability (HA)
Manage – Create and maintain daily activities and operations in Cloudera Cluster, such as cluster balancing, alert configuration, rack topology management, provisioning, host decommissioning, management YARN resources with FIFO, fair, capacity planners, dynamic resource manager configurations
Secure – Enabling the relevant service and configuration to add security to achieve organizational goals with best practices. Configure Extended Access Control List (ACL), Configure Sentry, Hue Authorization and Authentication with LDAP, HDFS Encrypted Zones
Test – Access file system commands via HTTPFS, create, restore snapshot for HDFS directory, get / set extended ACL for file or directory, compare cluster
Troubleshoot – Ability to find the cause of any problem, resolve it, optimize inefficient execution. Identify and filter warnings, predict the problem, and apply the right solution. Configure the dynamic resource pool configuration for better optimized use of the cluster. Find the scalability bottleneck and size the cluster.
Planning – Size and identify dependencies, hardware and software requirements.
Getting a real-time distributed environment with N number of enterprise grade machines will be very expensive. Thanks to the Cloud, which can help any user to create a distributed environment with very minimal expense and pay only for what you use it. AWS is very technologically neutral and all other cloud providers like Microsoft Azure, IBM Bluemix, Google Compute cloud, etc. work the same.
