[#1]

Hi,

I want to know if QuickStarts for CDH 5.12 and CDH 5.13.1 are Free to intall and use, can someone please confirm? Also, please let me know if registration / membership with cloudera.com is free. 

Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,

If you look at the QuickStart VM download page you will see the following disclaimers which should answer some of your questions.

** Cloudera QuickStarts, deployed via Docker containers or VMs, are not intended or supported for use in production. **

** Cloudera provides the latest release of its software as a free download as Quickstart VMs. Older versions will not be available for download. The current release is CDH 5.12. **

Can you further explain your question about membership / registration?

Thank you for pointing me to the details. As per the text it looks to me that QuickStart VM is free to install and use. As a starter for exploring various Hadoop eco systems from learning perspective, I think the QuickStart VM will be good place to start with and good to know it’s free as well.

I wanted to know if having membership to the Cloudera site is free or not.

Thank you.
Raj

Registering for Cloudera.com is free and provides access to things like posting here on the community. If you are looking for access to the support portal or other areas your free account doesn't allow, I would refer you to the contact us page which will get your information to sales.
