What We’ve Lined
All through the One Huge Cluster Caught collection we’ve explored impactful greatest practices to realize management of your Cloudera Knowledge platform (CDP) setting and considerably enhance its well being and efficiency. We’ve shared code, dashboards, and instruments that will help you in your well being enchancment journey. We’d like to supply one final instrument.
The Environmental Well being Scorecard
We observe setting well being on the macro stage with a dashboard that mirrors our weblog collection methodology with a couple of additions. We set quarterly OKR (Targets and Key Outcomes) targets to enhance our rating.
At decrease ranges of grain our measurements are data-driven and automatic, however on the macro stage we desire to use some subjectivity (after all our weightings will differ from yours as we’re on a special journey). Our knowledge and analytics leaders meet month-to-month to judge our well being enchancment and log subjective measures. Some could name that anecdotal proof however we worth the pairing of our data-driven evaluation with our observable actuality.
Platform Well being
All of it begins with platform well being which we selected to measure in 3 dimensions: {hardware} efficiency, companies efficiency, and optimum configuration/tuning. We supplied dozens of how-to manuals to achieve visibility and tune your setting.
Is it shocking that we weighted platform well being solely an 8 on a 100 level scale? Our mannequin considers the length and useful resource dedication required to finish 80% of the journey, and since our platform optimization took just a few assets a couple of months, we weighted it low. When you’ve received a multiyear platform journey forward of you, you’ll weigh it extra closely.
NOTE: The Optimally configured quantity is only a rely of tunings we accomplished, and the odds are subjective evaluations.
Visibility and Transparency
Weighted a 20?! Yup. It’s that vital to us as now we have written. We selected separate measures for our personal jobs and our customers’ jobs. With 100% monitoring, alerting (notifications to DevOps), and notifications (to our clients), why didn’t we earn a 20? As a result of we weren’t as proactive in resolving points as our OKR targets indicated we must be.
Knowledge Democratization
Though we didn’t weblog about knowledge democratization, we discover it an vital measure of environmental well being. Each different measurement is meaningless if crucial knowledge parts are unavailable to determination makers. By the way, this measure is within the reverse seat of the see-saw because the others: ungoverned knowledge democratization is the one best reason behind all the issues we’re attempting to impression. Take into consideration that.
Knowledge Course of Well being
Though we didn’t dedicate a weblog to this well being measure, we supplied quite a few directions to restore issues you discover. The targets we selected within the dashboard are vital to us, however select these which are vital to you. The person scores are counts however the total well being rating is just not a sum, it’s subjective. It is a multiyear journey.
Knowledge Asset Standardization
This measure will get our highest weighting at 25 out of 100. The well being of the setting is most depending on the belief that customers have within the knowledge. The larger your knowledge observability, and the larger the amount that’s accessed by way of enterprise commonplace dashboards and governance-certified sources of fact, the larger the chance for belief. The belief develops by means of an understanding of the information as maintained by means of metadata in your Knowledge Catalog: classification, lineage, foreign money, and enterprise context . You possibly can see that we did nice on report standardization however now we have longer to go to certify our enriched datasets and knowledge marts, and to repipe our customers’ property. One other multiyear journey.
Knowledge High quality & Knowledge Governance Extensibility
Like knowledge standardization this goes to the center of trusted knowledge. We have now 37 complete well being factors measuring knowledge trustworthiness. That will appear counterintuitive when utilized to an environmental “well being” measure, however that’s how we see it. You might even see these and different measures in another way.
Better of Luck!
We smile on the chance that we’d have enabled you to be extra environment friendly or succesful (or each!). Go to our Neighborhood Web page, our blogs, and Knowledge and IT Leaders web page for a lot extra.
