Ask HN: Is there a place to learn Hadoop/Hive/Big data analysis through cloud?
My laptop doesn't have enough disk space/memory to run a virtual machine that contains Cloudera/Hortonworks effectively so I am wondering if there are any free cloud-based alternatives?

- trengrj 8y agoAs mentioned by maa5444, Databricks community edition is a good way to learn Spark as you get a free 6GB node. If you want to focus more on Cloudera/Hortonworks, I would just spin up VMs in AWS or your preferred cloud. The costs of running test nodes (say 32/64 GB ram 100GB disks) are not super high if your are economical with shutting them down when not in use.
