This release of the Management Console service introduces the following changes:

VHD images hosted in Azure Marketplace

Cloudera now publishes VHD images on Azure Marketplace for each minor Runtime release (for example, 7.2.17) and CDP uses these images by default during environment and Data Hub creation. In order for CDP to be able to load these images, customers need to accept Azure Marketplace terms and conditions either via CDP web UI (recommended) or Azure CLI. Note that RHEL 8 images on Azure are only available via Azure Marketplace.

In order to use this feature, you need to Grant the service principal additional Azure permissions:

  1. On the scope of your Azure subscription: ​​
    "Microsoft.MarketplaceOrdering/offertypes/publishers/offers/plans/agreements/write",
    "Microsoft.MarketplaceOrdering/offerTypes/publishers/offers/plans/agreements/read”
  2. On the scope of the CDP Azure resource group:
    “Microsoft.Resources/deployments/whatIf/action” 

For more information, see CDP images hosted in Azure Marketplace.
