Speaker: Mihaela Blendea

Abstract: Big Data Clusters (BDC) is a set of capabilities introduced in SQL Server 2019 to help achieve data-driven business insights from ever increasing sources and amounts of data. With BDC, organizations can run containerized Apache Spark and Hadoop Data File System (HDFS) in an integrated matter side by side with SQL Server, in a single, secure and unified data platform. BDC requires Linux containers and Kubernetes, and recently Red Hat OpenShift was added as a commercially supported Kubernetes platform for BDC. OpenShift helps achieve the desired agility, consistency, flexibility, scalability, portability, etc. for data science and application development workflows. In this session, you will learn about BDC on OpenShift architecture, key capabilities and use cases, best practices, and technical resources to get you up to speed.
