Cloudera announced today that Cloudera Observability is now generally available for all customers using Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) on public or private cloud environments.
The solution delivers new capabilities to the open data lakehouse implemented with CDP providing actionable insights for data, applications, and infrastructure components to optimize costs, automatically resolve issues, and improve performance. Financial governance and FinOps enable cost management across CDP to avoid budget overruns and allow capacity projections for planning purposes.
"One of the biggest challenges for companies today when managing workloads operating in the cloud is to get a global view of spending on infrastructure and services," said Rob Bearden, CEO of Cloudera. "With Cloudera Observability customers get unprecedented visibility into workload and resource utilization to better control and automatically manage budget overruns, and improve performance."
Building on the company's experience with hybrid data solutions, Cloudera Observability empowers customers to monitor, understand, and optimize their CDP deployments. Customers also benefit from customizable automatic actions and pre-built actions to raise alerts, proactively avoid issues, and optimize workloads.
Cloudera Observability is available at no additional cost as part of applicable subscriptions to CDP and helps optimize the most frequently used data engines, including Hive, Impala and Spark for data engineering workloads. Cloudera Observability Premium adds high value capabilities, including custom auto-actions, deeper insights and richer automated troubleshooting. Support for new data engines and other platform components will be added over time.
Cloudera Observability is interoperable with Apache Iceberg, which is a key building block of Cloudera's open data lakehouse delivered via CDP. It is a high-performance open table format for large analytic tables that brings reliability to big data, while making it possible for multiple compute engines to work concurrently.
Cloudera's open data lakehouse helps organizations run quick analytics on all data - structured and unstructured – at massive scale. It eliminates data silos and allows data teams to collaborate on the same data with the tools of their choice on any public cloud and private cloud. Cloudera Observability enables a more cost-effective outcome across the full range of CDP's functions, resulting in an enhanced experience for enterprise users. This becomes increasingly important as companies level up their data management in support of foundational data for large language models and other AI initiatives across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
