Anaconda for cluster management
Anaconda for cluster management provides resource management tools which allow users to easily create, provision and manage bare-metal or cloud-based clusters. It enables the management of conda environments on clusters and provides integration, configuration and setup management of Hadoop services. This can be installed alongside enterprise Hadoop distributions such as Cloudera CDH or Hortonworks HDP and this is used to manage conda packages and environments across a cluster.
