Are you looking to optimize costs and resource usage for your Spark jobs on Databricks? Then this is the webinar for you. Overallocating resources, such as memory, is a common fault when setting up Spark jobs. And for Spark jobs running on Databricks, adding resources is a click away - but it’s an expensive click, so cost management is critical.

Spark jobs require resources - and those resources? They can be pricey. If you're looking to speed up completion times, optimize costs, and reduce resource usage for your Spark jobs, this is the webinar for you.For Spark jobs running on-premises, optimizing resource usage is key. For Spark jobs running in the cloud, for example on Amazon EMR or Databricks, adding resources is a click away - but it’s an expensive click, so cost management is critical.

Amazon EMR is growing in popularity, and is emerging as the leading platform for big data processing on AWS. EMR is the preferred platform for “lift and shift” migration of existing Hadoop and Spark workloads to the cloud, with minimal refactoring. You get better control, enhanced flexibility, and greater responsiveness.

The popularity of Databricks is rocketing skyward, and it is now the leading multi-cloud platform for Spark and analytics workloads, offering fully managed Spark clusters in the cloud. Databricks is fast and organizations generally refactor their applications when moving them to Databricks. The result is strong performance. However, as usage of Databricks grows, so does the importance of reliability for Databricks jobs - especially big data jobs such as Spark workloads. But information you need for troubleshooting is scattered across multiple, voluminous log files.

Apache Spark is the leading technology for big data processing, on-premises and in the cloud. Spark powers advanced analytics, AI, machine learning, and more. Spark provides a unified infrastructure for all kinds of professionals to work together to achieve outstanding results.

In this session from Data+AI Summit 2021 (formerly Spark+AI Summit) Shivnath Babu, CTO/Adjunct Professor, Unravel Data Systems/Duke University presents, "Jeeves Grows Up: An AI Chatbot for Performance and Quality."

Amazon EMR is a go-to platform for those who want all the power of Hadoop and Spark in the cloud. However, cost and performance trade-offs can reduce the advantages of EMR over alternatives. Lack of visibility into the root cause of problems, right-sizing options, and cost allocation can add confusion and frustration for EMR users. Unravel Data gives you visibility into the minute-to-minute operations of your workloads on EMR. Get root cause analysis (RCA) of workload breakdowns and slowdowns; AI-powered recommendations; and proactive fixes for many problems. With Unravel Data, you can meet and beat your SLAs, saving thousands - even millions - of dollars per year in the process.

In this webinar, Unravel CDO and VP Engineering Sandeep Uttamchandani describes the fourth and final step for any large, data-driven project: the Operationalize phase. You've found your data (Discover phase), readied it for processing (Prep phase), and built out your processing logic and machine learning model(s) (Build phase). Now you need to Operationalize all your work to data as a live project, in production.

Organizations are moving big data from on-premises to the cloud, using best-of-breed technologies like Databricks, Amazon EMR, Azure HDI, and Cloudera, to name a few. However, many cloud migrations fail. Why? And, how can you overcome the barriers and succeed? Join Chris Santiago, Director of Solution Engineering, as he describes the biggest pain points and how you can avoid them, and make your move to the cloud a success.
