Building HDP 2.6 on AWS, Part 1: the edge node
Installing Hortonworks Data Platform 2.6 on Amazon Web Services (Amazon’s cloud platform), how hard could it be? It’s click, click, next, next, confirm, right?
Well-lll, not quite. Especially if HDP or AWS is new to you. There are many steps and many things to look out for. That’s why I wrote a manual, initially for myself, and here for you.
Disclaimer: This blogpost might change slightly after I’ve gained more experience with my HDP cluster. Most of it works, but I have some problems with a few services. I’ll notify of changes I’ve made at the end of this post.
