Supercharge Your Data Lakehouse with Apache Iceberg in Cloudera Data Platform
By Guest Authors: Bill Zhang, Director Product Management, Data Warehousing @ Cloudera and Shaun Ahmadian.
We are excited to announce the general availability of Apache Iceberg in Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). Iceberg is a 100% open table format, developed through the Apache Software Foundation, and helps users avoid vendor lock-in. Today’s general availability announcement covers Iceberg running within key data services in the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP)—including Cloudera Data Warehousing (CDW), Cloudera Data Engineering (CDE), and Cloudera Machine Learning (CML). These tools empower analysts and data scientists to easily collaborate on the same data, with their choice of tools and analytic engines. There’s zero effort required by companies to get the benefits of Iceberg as part of CDP. No more lock-in, unnecessary data transformations, or data movement across tools and clouds just to extract insights out of the data.

5 Reasons to Use Apache Iceberg on Cloudera Data Platform (CDP)
By Guest Authors: Shaun Ahmadian and Luiz Carrossoni Neto @ Cloudera
What is Apache Iceberg?
Apache Iceberg is a high-performance, open table format, born-in-the cloud that scales to petabytes independent of the underlying storage layer and the access engine layer.
By being a truly open table format, Apache Iceberg fits well within the vision of the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). In fact, we recently announced the integration with our cloud ecosystem bringing the benefits of Iceberg to enterprises as they make their journey to the public cloud, and as they adopt more converged architectures like the Lakehouse.
Let’s highlight some of those benefits, and why choosing CDP and Iceberg can future proof your next generation data architecture.

Accelerate your models to production with Google Cloud and PyTorch
By Guest Authors: Erwin Huizing and Grace Reed @ Google
We believe in the power of choice for Machine Learning development, and continue to invest resources to make it easy for ML practitioners to train, deploy, and orchestrate models from a single unified data and AI cloud platform. We’re excited to announce our role as a founding member of the newly formed PyTorch Foundation, which will better position Google Cloud to make meaningful contributions to the PyTorch community. As a member of the board, we will deepen our open source investment to deliver on the Foundation’s mission to drive adoption of AI tooling by building an ecosystem of open source projects with PyTorch. We strongly believe in choice and will continue to invest in frameworks such as JAX and Tensorflow and support integrations with other OSS Projects including Spark, Airflow, XGBoost, and others.

How analytics better enables online learning, cost management, and cybersecurity in higher education
By Guest Author: Jared Pane, @ Elastic
As higher education institutions operate in a changed world, IT leaders in education continue to work through issues that came to the forefront during the pandemic.
Educational technology plays a big role, especially when it comes to equitable access to education. But IT leaders are also focusing on the back end, and leveraging analytics to inform their decision making as they restore, evolve, or transform digital ecosystems for increasingly blended learning environments.
Three areas where analytics from the existing digital ecosystem enable a better student experience are: online learning, cost management, and cyber and information security. Whether IT leaders tackle one or all three, they have the ability to make a lasting impact using the Elastic search and analytics platform.
