We are thrilled to announce the latest release of Cloudera Data Engineering for the Public Cloud.
This release marks a significant milestone towards achieving parity with Spark-on-Base & Datahub. The highlight of this release is GA of In-place Upgrade, with auto backup, providing a streamlined experience for customers to transition to the latest version of CDE.
Interactive Session, featuring both CLI and UI-based development, is also now GA. We are officially introducing the 2-tier pricing - CDE Core and CDE All-purpose. CDE Core virtual clusters represent our current functionality that is designed for long-running, operational pipelines. CDE All-purpose cluster includes a broader set of features compared to CDE Core including Interactive Sessions. This gives customers greater flexibility to manage costs by tailoring workloads to specific compute tiers.
