The motivation behind Cloudera Altus SDX is to enable multiple clusters to share the same consistent view of enterprise data hosted on Amazon S3 and Microsoft ADLS. At the heart of Altus SDX is a repository of attributes describing locations and structure of data, access rights, business glossary definitions, lineage and more.
We often hear from our customers about use cases where data is in the cloud and clusters are created on demand to ingest new datasets.
