Speaker: Joey Filichia, Business Intelligence Consultant There are many options for Cloud Providers, but according to the Gartner Magic Quadrant 2014 for IaaS Solutions, Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure are both leaders and visionaries. DataStax provides instructions for provisioning an Amazon Machine Image. This discussion will provide guidance on setting up a single-node DataStax Enterprise cluster using an Ubuntu 14.04 Server and a Windows Azure Virtual Machine. Using the DataStax Enterprise production installation in text mode, we will install DSE end to end during the presentation.
