Overview:

Take your knowledge to the next level with Cloudera’s Administrator Training and Certification. Cloudera University’s 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.

Delivery Method and Course Duration:

OnDemand: 180 days

Objectives:

After successfully completing this course, the student will be able to:

• Describe security in the context of Hadoop
• Assess threats to a production Hadoop cluster
• Plan and deploy defenses against these threats
• Improve the security of each node in the cluster
• Set up authentication with Kerberos and Active Directory
• Use permissions and ACLs to control access to files in HDFS
• Use platform authorization features to control data access
• Perform common key management tasks
• Use encryption to protect data in motion and at rest
• Monitor a cluster for suspicious activity

What To Expect:

The course is intended for system administrators and those in similar roles. Prospective students should have a good understanding of Hadoop's architecture, the ability to perform system administration tasks in the Linux environment, and at least basic exposure to Cloudera Manager. We recommend that students complete the Cloudera Administrator Training for Apache Hadoop course, or have equivalent on-the-job experience, before beginning this course. No prior training or experience with computer security is required
