Cloudera on Azure: resources and updates

Microsoft is continuously working to make Azure the best cloud platform for big data, including Apache Hadoop. In order to make this happen, Microsoft delivers a comprehensive set of solutions such as the Hadoop-based solution Azure HDInsight and managed data services from partners, including Hortonworks and Cloudera.
Cloudera is recognized as a leader in the Hadoop community, and Cloudera Enterprise has achieved Azure Certification. As a result of this certification, organizations are able to launch a Cloudera Enterprise cluster from the Azure Marketplace.
Microsoft’s partnership with Cloudera allows customers to use the Hadoop distribution of their choice while getting the cloud benefits of Azure. It is also a sign of the company’s continued commitment to make Hadoop more accessible to customers by supporting the ability to run big data workloads anywhere – on hosted VM’s and managed services in the public cloud, on-premise or in hybrid scenarios.
In this blog post, we provide various tutorials and resources about Cloudera on Azure. We will be updating this post with new information whenever possible.
