Prometheus and Grafana were configured to monitor the Kubernetes cluster
Master the Power of Containers: Kubernetes Cluster Setup and Administration
Challenge
High costs associated with traditional data lake solutions
Vendor lock-in and limited flexibility
Migrating existing big data workloads to a new platform
Solution
We successfully built a Lakehouse using 100% open-source tools, achieving the following:
Kubernetes and Ceph Storage Cluster: Deployed and validated a Kubernetes and Ceph Storage Cluster using open-source tools.
Hadoop Cluster Replacement: Verified the functionality of the Lakehouse by running existing big data workloads on the Hadoop cluster.
Open-Source Lakehouse: Demonstrated the feasibility of creating a Lakehouse with 100% open-source software, eliminating license costs.
Cost-effectiveness:
No upfront license fees or ongoing subscription costs
Vendor neutrality:
Avoid vendor lock-in and maintain control over your data
Open-source flexibility:
Freedom to choose the best tools for your specific needs
Future-proof:
Easily adapt to new technologies and changing requirements
CONCLUSION
This project demonstrates the viability of building a powerful and cost-effective Lakehouse using 100% open-source tools.
By leveraging open-source technologies, organizations can achieve greater flexibility, control, and cost savings while future-proofing their data infrastructure.
