Cloudera announced the latest version of Cloudera Director 2.0, the easiest way to deploy and manage enterprise Hadoop in cloud environments. As the only Hadoop distribution to support hybrid cloud environments, Cloudera has been leading the cloud movement for Hadoop so customers can capitalize on the flexibility provided by the cloud while taking advantage of the platform capabilities of Hadoop. This release marks a critical milestone for this movement with new automations to reduce operating costs, deliver critical enterprise-grade capabilities, and provide troubleshooting necessary for production.

Customers can also take advantage of customized configurations to quickly get started with common workloads. Due to the rising popularity of streaming data and the Internet of Things, more data is being generated and stored in the cloud. Paired with the resourcing flexibility of cloud environments, it has become an appealing environment to support many common Hadoop workloads.

Cloudera was the first Hadoop vendor to help customers embrace these trends, and has since developed new technologies through Cloudera Director to support hybrid operations, new optimizations in the platform to seamlessly integrate with object stores, and integrations and partnerships with the major cloud environments -- Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure -- for a reliable experience regardless of environment.
