CDP on Alibaba Cloud
You can select a CDP version for your workload from the Alibaba Cloud Marketplace. CDP on Alibaba Cloud addresses the following two pain points:
The licenses for the open source community edition of Cloudera CDH are expiring. The commercial edition of CDP on Alibaba Cloud provides a valid commercial license at a low cost.
Building CDH clusters is complex. With the commercial edition of CDP on Alibaba Cloud, you can complete processes such as instance type selection, cluster deployment, and job submission in minutes. This saves you the cost of deploying big data cluster software yourself.
