Description

Data warehousing has its roots in the data center, but in recent years, it has increasingly adopted cloud-related technologies. First, we had virtual machines in the data center via technologies like VMware and Xen, and quickly the cloud adopted them as the standard unit of computing. Now with multiple public cloud vendor options, as well as an increasing popularity of the private cloud, enterprise architecture teams have struggled to have a common deployment method and platform.

Today with technologies like Kubernetes and containers, it’s possible to have a common abstraction, be it public or private cloud. Greg Rahn dives into these emerging technologies and trends and explains how Cloudera is developing a next-generation data warehouse platform that’s optimized for both the public and private cloud. Greg also presents Cloudera’s vision of the future and discusses what that means for both administrators and end users.
