Experience
Data Platform Orchestration | Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP)
Before this automation, it took three to six months to create a new data platform for the operations team, which involved creating AD accounts, generating new domains, provisioning new infra/compute, and installing and security hardening the Hadoop clusters.
After automating all the manual tasks, developers can create new Hadoop clusters on their own, which will be available in 6-12 hours, depending on the cluster size and configuration.
