Is CDP open source?

[#1]

I have a simple question, Is CDP (CDH 7.x) open source?

when I try to download the cm7 from this URL https://archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7/

Its ask for password.

I am following this URL https://docs.cloudera.com/cdpdc/7.0/installation/topics/cdpdc-configure-repository.html

Thanks

The newest CDP and HDP releases require a customer username and password.

Anything in the archive.cloudera.com path will require this level of authorization.   Here is some specific reference to how to obtain access (for HDP):

Starting with the HDP 3.1.5 release, access to HDP repositories requires authentication. To access the binaries, you must first have the required authentication credentials (username and password).

Authentication credentials for new customers and partners are provided in an email sent from Cloudera to registered support contacts. Existing users can file a non-technical case within the support portal (https://my.cloudera.com) to obtain credentials.

Previously, HDP repositories were located on AWS S3. As of HDP 3.1.5 / Ambari 2.7.5, repositories have been moved to https://archive.cloudera.com

When you obtain your authentication credentials, use them to form the URL where you can access the HDP repository in the HDP archive, as shown below. Insert your username and password at the front of the URL.

are authentication required for the Cloudera Enterprise version?

CDP isn't 100% open source. You may have to purchase the subscription.

Trial can be download from here-

https://www.cloudera.com/downloads.html

"THE TRIAL VERSION INCLUDES ALL FEATURES OF THE FULL PRODUCT AND IS VALID FOR 60 DAYS FROM THE TIME OF INSTALLATION."

@datascience_had Yes, this is the Open source but under the AGPL now. For more details on how AGPL works in new Cloudera world see below:

Coming to the repo download issue you should have a valid subscription to download these bits. For more details:

For CDP-DC runtime: https://docs.cloudera.com/cdpdc/7.0/installation/topics/cdpdc-runtime-download-information.html

For CDP-DC: https://docs.cloudera.com/cdpdc/7.0/installation/topics/cdpdc-cm-download-information.html

But you can always use our trial version of CDP-DC form here by downloading directly.

For trial installation procedure please follow the doc: https://docs.cloudera.com/cdpdc/7.0/installation/topics/cdpdc-trial-installation.html

Still its not clear, If its open source so why Cloudera is asking for trail version installation. Earlier it was not like that CDH 6 or 5.

At-least we can download the parcles and install as CDH and later we can purchase if we want. Same as CDH.

Its confusing 🙂

This is a recent change.  Based on the amount of feedback it has created just within the Community here, we may expect more changes to the Open Source Model for access to evaluation versions.  However, since the Merger, there are many big changes afoot including moving away from mostly Open Source Hortonworks towards new Business Models of Cloudera.

Could you please shed some light on how to upgrade from CDH 6.x CE to the new versions, e.g. CDH 7.x?

Will CDH 7.x be available as Community Edition for download?

Hi @szhem,

Have you by chance watched the Cloudera webinar "From the Edge to AI" from January? The video introduces Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) as well as the support plan and upgrade path for CDH (and HDP as well).

I have. Unfortunately, it's not clear enough from there how to do it in case of CDH CE.

I feel that it will be necessary to buy a subscription at first (according to this thread) to be able to upgrade to CDP and there is no upgrade path in case of Community Edition.
