Big-Data-as-a-Service: Big Data Analytics on AWS

Big-Data-as-a-Service: Big Data Analytics on AWS

So you want to use Cloudera, Hortonworks, and MapR on AWS. Or maybe Spark with Jupyter or Zeppelin; plus Kafka and Cassandra. How do you get started? In this meetup, we’ll discuss:

• Onboarding multiple teams onto AWS, with security and cost controls in a multi-tenant architecture

• Accelerating the creation of data pipelines, with instant clusters for Spark, Hadoop, Kafka, and Cassandra

• Providing data scientists with choice and flexibility for their preferred Big Data frameworks, distributions, and tools

• Running analytics using data in Amazon S3 and on-premises storage, with pre-built integration and connectors

Join this meetup with Anant Chintamaneni (vice president of products at BlueData) on how to quickly and easily deploy Spark, Hadoop, and more on AWS – without DevOps or AWS-specific skills.
