Dell Validated Design for Analytics—Data Lakehouse incorporates Symcloud Platform version 5.3.x. We ran our validation of the Run:ai Classic (SaaS) deployment on this version. See the Dell Validated Design for Analytics—Data Lakehouse Design Guide for more information about the reference architecture. We ran the Run:ai Atlas self-hosted deployment and validation was on a newer version of Symcloud Platform, which as of publication of this document is yet to be validated as part of the Dell Validated Design for Analytics – Data Lakehouse.
