Note: Deployment, migration, and upgrade projects can be complex. They require careful planning, with assistance from infrastructure and software teams, to ensure success. Dell Technologies highly recommends that you engage with both Cloudera and Dell Technologies for project planning and execution assistance.
There are several paths to get to CDP Private Cloud Base, aside from a new, or greenfield
, installation. For existing installations there are two approaches:
- Migration
- With this approach, as shown on the left of Migration vs. upgrading, you:
- Deploy a new CDP Private Cloud Base cluster on-premises and on new hardware infrastructure.
- Copy the data and metadata from the existing cluster.
- Migrate the existing workloads.
- In-place upgrade for supported upgrade pathways
- With this approach, as shown on the right of Migration vs. upgrading, you:
- Perform required preparations to upgrade from the legacy cluster to CDP Private Cloud Base.
- Perform an in-place upgrade on the same hardware infrastructure.
Further details on both these approaches are described in:
