Cost-Efficiencies & Flexibility in the Cloud
Primary Analytic Database Patterns
Only pay for what you need,
when you need it
▪ Transient clusters
▪ Object storage centric
▪ Cloud-native deployment
ETL
Reduce Operating Costs New Insights, New Revenue
BI/Analytics
Explore and analyze all data,
wherever it lives
▪ Long-running clusters
▪ Object storage or local storage
▪ Lift-and-shift deployment

Add Use Cases, Analytics,
and Data On-Demand
• Avoid the IT backlog with instant
access to all data
• On-demand clusters query directly
on shared object storage
Predictable Results
Whenever You Want
• Consistent query performance,
even during peak times
• Multi-tenancy via isolated clusters
on shared data
Just-in-Time Resources
• Real-time capacity for your needs,
as they change
• Elastically grow/shrink your cluster
via decoupled architecture
Contention-Free ETL
• ETL anytime without impacting
other workloads or risking SLAs
• Separate ETL clusters as-needed on
shared data

Persistent BI on Object Storage
Best for elasticity (and speed vs transient)
● This is usually the best choice
● Best when workloads are:
o Flexible and changing
o Frequent during most working days
o Not scheduled for fixed hours
● Benefits include:
o Predictable results readily available
o Full multi-tenant isolation
o Common data in shared object storage
o Grow/shrink for TCO efficiency
● Tradeoffs:
o Per node performance of object storage (use
more, cheaper nodes)

Persistent BI (regular usage)
Persistent clusters for ready availability
● Reserved instances
● Node-based pricing
● Grow/shrink
● Cluster per tenant group

Persistent BI with Locally-Attached Storage
Best performance for consistent workloads
● Best when workloads are:
o Regular and consistent
o Consistently querying common data
o Tight SLAs for performance
o Fast changing data (that needs Kudu)
o Running without object storage (eg. Azure, GCE)
● Benefits include:
o Faster performance per node on local data
o Ability to query object storage for rest of data
● Tradeoffs:
o Less elastic than object stored based clusters
o Less isolation for multi-tenant workloads using
same HDFS data
o Cost if there are off-peak hours

● Best when workloads are:
o Infrequent or scheduled
● Benefits include:
o Lowest TCO with clusters only when needed
o Full multi-tenant isolation
o Common data in shared object storage
● Tradeoffs:
o Delay to spin-up clusters when needed
o Capability of BI users to spin up clusters
o Per node performance of object storage (use
more, cheaper nodes)

• Engine: Impala
• Data Formats:
• Use Parquet, Snappy, and 256 MB blocks for best I/O efficiency (especially on object storage)
• Avoid small files to avoid performance issues (especially with object storage)
• Metadata (Hive metastore):
• Use local RDBMS for clusters that use locally-stored HDFS/Kudu data
• Use local RDBMS for persisted clusters (or transient clusters with Kerberos or Sentry)
• Use a shared RDBMS for transient single-tenant clusters without Kerberos or Sentry
• Avoid sharing RDBMS for non-data sharing clusters
• Deployment and Administration:
• Use Cloudera Manager for persistent clusters
• Use Cloudera Director for transient clusters
• Deploy NLB for persistent clusters as usual (and only when needed for transience)
• Monitor workloads with Cloudera Manager
• Security:
• Transient BI clusters: use VPC with strict security groups
• Persistent BI clusters: (see next slide)
Basic Guidelines for BI in the cloud

18. 18© Cloudera, Inc. All rights reserved.
Security Guidelines for BI in the cloud
Persistent clusters
• Identity:
• Tie the cluster to the corporate user directory (AD or LDAP) using Linux SSSD
• Authentication:
• Kerberos for internal CDH services
• AD (LDAP) for BI user/tools with Impala
• Authorization:
• Use Sentry for authorization per BI cluster (shared RDBMS with Sentry is not yet available)
• Encryption:
• With AWS, use SSE-S3 server-side encryption
• If you need HDFS-level encryption or keys outside AWS, then use Persisted Cluster with Local Storage using CM
NOTE: if all users for a cluster have access to all data in the cluster, skip steps above and just use VPC with
strict security groups
