The exam is based on the Hortonworks Data Platform 2.4 installed and managed with Ambari 2.2, which includes Pig 0.15.0, Hive 1.2.1, Sqoop 1.4.6, and Flume 1.5.2. Each candidate will be given access to an HDP 2.4 cluster along with a list of tasks to be performed on that cluster.

Resources(Cluster) will be provided on Amazon AWS.

Make sure to take practice exam test before you go for final exam.

All the best! 🙂
