Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) Private Cloud Base is the on-premises version of the Cloudera Data Platform. This new product combines the best of Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub and Hortonworks Data Platform Enterprise along with new features and enhancements across the stack. This unified distribution is a scalable and customizable platform where you can securely run many types of workloads.
CDP Private Cloud Base supports various hybrid solutions where compute tasks are separated from data storage and where data can be accessed from remote clusters. This hybrid approach provides a foundation for containerized applications by managing storage, table schema, authentication, authorization, and governance.
CDP Private Cloud Base consists of various components including Apache HDFS, Apache Hive 3, Apache HBase, Apache Impala, and many other components for specialized workloads. You can select any combination of these services to create clusters that address your business requirements and workloads. Several preconfigured packages of services are also available for common workloads. These packages include:

When installing a CDP Data Center cluster, you install a single parcel, called Cloudera Runtime, that contains all the components. For a complete list of the included components and versions, see Cloudera Runtime and Component Versions.
In addition to the Cloudera Runtime components, the CDP Data Center includes powerful tools to manage, govern, and secure your cluster.
For Cloudera Runtime components documentation, see CDP - Data Center Component Documentation.
Cloudera Manager is an end-to-end application for managing CDP clusters. Cloudera Manager provides granular visibility into, and control over, every part of the CDP cluster. These capabilities empower operators to improve performance, enhance quality of service, increase compliance, and reduce administrative costs.
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that is designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography in most distributed systems, including CDP. Kerberos provides secure and reliable authentication to multiple applications. PowerScale systems support the Kerberos authentication feature using Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) services.
