2022: RT.ClusterManager Purpose and Capabilities

RT.ClusterManager is a web application with a visual interface. The product makes complex cluster configuration operations simple. For example, with ClusterManager, you can quickly install and configure a Hadoop cluster without a deep knowledge of administration. This is possible thanks to the built-in debugged and tested scripts that run from the interface. The solution uses Ansible and Terraform proven automation technologies.

RT.ClusterManager is a single big data application management console. The application easily integrates into the IT landscape using the built-in REST API and allows you to create hybrid architectures and solutions: manage on-premises solutions, cloud products, products from the Rostelecom Data Management Platform line and data products from other vendors.
