Hi @Vik,   For installing 3rd party software on Altus clusters, you can specify a " Instance bootstrap script" when creating the cluster (see documentation for creating AWS and Azure clusters). The instance bootstrap script is executed on all the cluster instances immediately after start-up before any service is configured and started. You can use the bootstrap script to install additional OS packages or application dependencies.   If you have access to Cloudera support, please file a support request and we can further assist you with your questions and requests.   Thanks, Tony ...

You can reference the Altus (Azure) documentation (accessible through Altus console) for details on how to configure ADLS to allow Altus access.   Thanks, Tony Wu ... View more
