We are in the age of machine learning
Data has never been
more plentiful
Open source data science and
machine learning libraries are
rapidly evolving
Flexible commodity storage and
compute make scalable
production machine learning
affordable

But there are practical challenges
Most data science done at
small scale, individually,
and is difficult to replicate
Very few models
reach production
Teams have different,
conflicting requests for
languages & libraries
Native formats and
security can make data
access challenging

Our Goal: Bring more data science users to Hadoop
Help more data scientists
use the power of Hadoop
Use a powerful, familiar
environment with direct access to
Hadoop data and compute
Data Scientist
Data Engineer
Make it easy and secure to
add new users, use cases
Offer secure self-service analytics
and a faster path to production on
common, affordable infrastructure

●Built on Docker and Kubernetes
●Runs on dedicated gateway nodes
●User sessions run in isolated
“engine” containers which:
○Host Kerberos-authenticated
Python/R/Scala runtimes
○Interact with Spark via YARN

“Our data scientists want GPUs, but
we can’t find a way to deliver multi-
tenancy.
If they go to the cloud on their own, it’s
expensive and we lose governance.”
●Extend existing CDSW benefits to
GPU-optimized deep learning tools
●Schedule & share GPU resources
●Train on GPUs, deploy on CPUs
●Works on-premises or cloud
