Build a Big Data Lab in the Cloud

1. How and why you need to build a Big Data Lab Why GCP is a pretty cool place to do it Chris Kernaghan Principal Consultant

2. VS Data Lab Data Factory

3. Big data Lab – the world’s biggest • WLCG – Worldwide LHC Computing Grid • 170 Computing facilities • 200,000 Cores • 300GB/s data stream ingestion • 300MB/s data stream filtered • 27TB RAW data per day

4. 4 Big data Lab – Traditional Home brew • Based on Vmware or Virtuabox or Raspberry PI • Mix of hardware • Limited resources – 6 cores, 128GB space • Low performance – 1 GHz Processor • Lots of baby sitting • Equal measures of heartbreak and joy

5. 5 Big data Lab – Using Cloud • IaaS and PaaS services • Mix of applications • Infinite resources • High performance • Access to quality data sets • Utility billing • Sharable outcomes

6. Big data platforms in the Cloud - AWS

7. Big data platforms in the Cloud - GCP

8. Big data platforms in the Cloud - Azure

9. Big data platforms in the Cloud - SAP

10. Big data platforms in the Cloud - IBM

11. Common characteristics of Cloud based platforms Streaming Engine Data Storage Hadoop In Memory Engine Machine Learning Analytics

12. Why have a lab • Data is a complex beast, it has several attributes • Quality – different tasks require different data quality • Machine Learning & Predictive • Reporting • Context – data context is vital for analytics • Story of the data • Volume – how much data is there • Testing requirements for data latency • Format – data format is not universal • Different applications have different data types • Analysis • What and how to analyse A lab is essential for testing these items before large scale factory work is done

15. Define your goals • Achieving the best use of resources is critical • Cloud based Big Data labs have a direct charge model • Homebrew Big Data labs have limited resources • Define what the outcome of the lab work is • This is no different to a proper science experiment • Design your lab and define your tools • You have to use the right tool for the job, not just those you are familiar with • Define your data set • Work out what data you need • Gain permission to use what you need if required

17. Mind the gap and acquire knowledge Part of the fun of big data labs is working out what you don’t know • A particular framework • An algorithm • A data set • A visualisation The next fun part is working out where to fill that knowledge gap • Online sources – • Kaggle • MOOC’s – Andrew Ng’s Stanford course • Forums – Stack Overflow It is also implicit that you also share what you have learnt once you have

19. SAP and Big Data platforms In-Memory Store Simplified processing of large volumes of archived data HANA SDA / Spark Adapter HANA-Spark Adapter for real- time understanding of current data with historical context Unified administration using HANA cockpit administration simplifies system management SAP HANA Application Services Database Services Processing Services Integration Services YARN HDFSFiles Files Files Vora Spark Vora Spark Vora Spark SAP HANA Platform HANA Smart Data Access Structured Storage Dynamic Tiering Spark API enhancement Hadoop Cluster

20. SAP HANA Express Edition • Fast application development and deployment with essential features • Free up to 32GB of memory – upgradeable for a fee • Flexible access from a laptop, desktop, server, Cloud platform • Pre-Packages with sample code and data • Downloadable from SAP Developer network

21. Big data datasets Companies are really really bad at using external data sets • There are many public data sets which can be used to compliment existing internal data. • Weather data for logistics companies • AWS Public Datasets • Google Public Datasets • GitHub Public Datasets • Kaggle Public Datasets • Data.gov.uk Public Datasets

22. AWS Big data datasets

23. Google Big data datasets

24. GitHub Big data datasets

25. Kaggle Big data datasets

26. Data.gov.uk data datasets

27. SAP HANA Express Edition Deploying in GCP DEMO
