As enterprise artificial intelligence applied sciences rapidly transform our digital landscape, the foundation of your cloud infrastructure assumes paramount importance than ever before? That’s why Cloudera, renowned for its open-source offerings, has partnered to bring Cloudera’s operating system to their public cloud as the underlying infrastructure for all our public cloud platform images. Let’s drill down into the significance of this development for our target audience.
Beforehand, Cloudera’s public cloud offerings provided Digital Machine images built upon a foundation of CentOS Linux. As we move to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)-based infrastructure, we are aligning ourselves with the industry’s current direction and catering to the growing demands of our customers, who increasingly prefer this platform. As a trusted enterprise Linux OS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) boasts extensive certification across numerous cloud providers and hundreds of hardware and software vendors. This integration expedites InfoSec approval processes for Cloudera prospects, bolstering their security stance and delivering a long-term, vendor-backed, and supported solution.
Foster a robust foundation for your digital ecosystem by transitioning to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), thereby empowering your infrastructure with a sturdy and resilient underpinning that fortifies its very core. By mirroring the process of fortifying a home for potential renovations and technological enhancements, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) solidifies its role in supporting your digital infrastructure’s growth, not only enabling but accelerating this transformation. At the core of successful AI adoption lies a robust foundation, empowering organizations to develop and scale exceptional AI applications with unwavering certainty.
The shift to RHEL as the standard operating system for Cloudera on public clouds is a significant improvement, benefiting both our customers and us. As this strategic move harmonizes with customer demands for expedited Information Security clearances and sustained support, it also yields operational efficiencies that benefit Cloudera in the long run. By adopting a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)-based system, organisations can swiftly address critical vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), gaining access to RHEL’s Identity Administration system, which offers enhanced efficiency and scalability compared to the open-source FreeIPA solution. Red Hat Enterprise Linux’s robust automation and administration features empower organizations to tap into valuable DevOps resources, allowing teams to focus on innovation with Cloudera rather than being bogged down by the rigid maintenance demands of traditional operating systems.
This improvement is particularly valuable for those seeking to harness the power of next-generation hardware architectures, as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) has been finely optimized to facilitate this discovery.
Cloudera’s migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for its public cloud offerings marks a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering exceptional security and support to our customers, ensuring their data remains protected and reliable in the cloud. Our unwavering commitment to exceed the expectations of the businesses and entities we support is exemplified by this evolutionary leap forward. As we integrate Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), we’re fortifying our platform to provide a secure, elastic, and sustainably supported cloud environment that can confidently navigate the demands of tomorrow’s data-driven AI challenges.” – Karthik Krishnamoorthy, Vice President of Product Administration, Cloudera.
For users migrating from CentOS Linux or other distributions, Cloudera offers a straightforward transition plan. This course will be managed by our teams, ensuring seamless progression for our customers without requiring them to rebuild their existing infrastructure.
At Cloudera, the commitment to buyer success remains an unwavering foundation of our customer-centric service model. As part of our integration with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), we are introducing a custom-curated RHEL mirror designed specifically to provide the necessary components for Cloudera use cases and instances. If prospective clients need packages not listed on our customised platform, they can submit a support ticket with a clear explanation for the additional components required, ensuring seamless coordination and resolution. This restricted RHEL mirror is exclusively accessible for Cloudera deployments on public clouds.
The integration of Cloudera with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) represents a significant milestone, offering customers a streamlined experience that harmoniously blends Cloudera’s capabilities in managing data and addressing AI challenges with RHEL’s reputation for dependability. This transfer not only simplifies compliance and safety protocols, but also establishes a more sustainable and scalable operational framework.
We’re pleased to expand our partnership with Cloudera as they adopt Red Hat Enterprise Linux as their go-to platform for public cloud deployments. “Driven by a shared commitment to empowering customers through secure and cloud-ready solutions, we’re poised to propel our joint success forward, leveraging the transformative power of generative AI,” said Gunnar Hellekson, VP and General Manager, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Enterprise Unit.
Join forces with Cloudera and Red Hat to propel your organization forward with enhanced efficiency and groundbreaking innovation. Let’s get started immediately with all of our comprehensive resources to guide you through the process.
