Cloud Hadoop: Scaling Apache Spark

- [Lynn] Have you been learning Apache Spark and been wondering how to turn the various examples and Hello World samples you've been working with into reality and business value? Have you been thinking about how you might leverage the distributed compute power of Apache Spark in the public cloud? In this course, we're going to cover using Spark in a practical manner, based on my experience as a cloud architect, building big data pipelines for customers from genomic analysts to education and many others. In particular, we're going to look at cloud configurations. We're going to examine databricks, which is software as a service running on Amazon. We're going to look at managed Spark EMR, or elastic map reduce, on Amazon and many others. I'm Lynn Langit, we have lots to cover, so let's get started.
