This paper expands on the information that is available from Microsoft and the SQL Server Big Data Cluster ecosystem. It provides insights into each layer of the architecture and describes how the architecture can be applied to a common use case.
The use case in this paper is designed to show how developers and data scientists can easily support a Big Data Cluster ecosystem with VxRail HCI, VMware, Docker, and Kubernetes. The use case also illustrates how using the vSphere CSI driver with VxRail HCI enables comprehensive automation, orchestration, and coordination of server and storage systems for implementing a software-defined infrastructure.
