Recommended upgrade path from HDP 2.6.5 to CDP

Currently we have a Hortonworks HDP cluster version 2.6.5. We are planning to migrate our platform to the new Cloudera.

Which is the recommended upgrade path? Upgrade HDP first to version 3.1.5 and later migrate to CDP or is also possible to migrate directly from HDP 2.6.5 to CDP?

 

Thanks in advance for your inputs and suggestions.

Hi @carlaurrea 

 

The Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) has a number of form factors including a PaaS model in the cloud and a data center edition for on-premises deployments. I'm going to make the assumption that your HDP 2.6.5. deployment in on-premises. 

 

The Cloudera Data Platform Data Center edition (CDP-DC)  is already available for download and installation:

 

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

 

However, it is not possible right now to do an upgrade in place with this version - but we are planning to support this shortly with the release of CDP-DC 7.1. The plan is that when CDP-DC 7.1 is released you will be able to perform an upgrade in place from HDP 2.6.5.

 

Regards,

Steve

How would anyone with an on-premise HDP 2.6.5 opensource version be able to upgrade to CDP7 without a subscription ?

Hi @anshuman 

 

It is not possible to use CDP without a subscription agreement from Cloudera.
