Updating tags for environments

You can update the user-defined tags for existing Cloudera on cloud environments using CDP CLI. For more information, see the Editing tags documentation.

Validating and preparing FreeIPA upgrades

Before initiating FreeIPA OS upgrade, you can use the validate and prepare function in Cloudera Management Console. For more information, see the Validating and preparing FreeIPA upgrades documentation.

Standalone cross-realm support for environments

You can add a cross-realm Kerberos trust to an existing Cloudera on cloud environment to enable unified authentication and data access with your corporate Active Directory. This allows users authenticated against your on-premises Active Directory to access services and data in your Cloudera on cloud environment using their existing corporate credentials. For more information, see the Setting up trust for existing Cloudera on cloud environments documentation.

Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer

Task prioritization feature support

You can define a priority level for maintenance tasks that are configured for a policy. Higher-priority tasks are scheduled before lower-priority tasks when multiple policies compete for cluster resources.

For more information, see Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer features.

High availability feature support

Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer supports high availability with multiple service instances, automatic leader election, and failover. At any time, one instance is the leader that accepts API requests and performs state-mutating operations. Standby instances take over automatically when the leader fails.

For more information, see High availability for Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer.

Puffin statistics feature support

You can create a custom policy that computes NDV statistics for Iceberg table columns and writes them to a Puffin statistics file registered in the table metadata. Query engines that read Iceberg Puffin files use these estimates for cost-based optimization.

For more information, see Puffin statistics for Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer.

Auditing feature support

Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer provides an audit trail of user and system activities, including policy creation, editing, deletion, association, namespace operations, authentication events, and table maintenance actions.

For more information, see Auditing for Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer.
