Apache Spark vs. HDFS
Distributed Data Processing:
Spark: Processes data across distributed nodes
HDFS: Data subsets are stored across a distributed server system
Fault Tolerance:
Spark: Uses RDD to memorize data retrieval method and reconstructs the data from storage in the event of a fault
HDFS: Makes copies (shards) of data across nodes and retrieves a shard to continue processing in the event of a system fault

Trump lifted sanctions against Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Within hours, Netanyahu launched a new invasion.Jonah Valdez (The Intercept)
I think Bezos bought the WaPo, saw only the title of the book, 'All the President's Men', and took those four words as advice for him in a second Trump term. /s
Seriously though, I feel the absence of that revered institution, now that it's become the paper of apology and misdirection, and no longer of investigative journalism in politics.

in reply to Cornflake • • •OpenVox is the modern open source implementation of the world's most capable configuration management platform -- trusted by everyone from the smallest hobbyist to operators of some of the largest commercial infrastructures in the business.
Try OpenVox as the engine powering your infrastructure deployment and configuration needs and see why it's the industry standard in resource abstraction and drift remediation.

Best of luck to you and your project!

in reply to Cornflake • • •I find this happens a lot on software like this and people kind of assume visitors know what all the buzzwords mean or are in the same bubble as the developers, which is a shame really as I assume it scares a lot of people off.
TLDR: it lets you automate installing an operating system and software, mainly used for servers.

We use it in Linux Servers, Windows Servers, Linux Desktops, Windows Desktops, etc etc :)

in reply to dino • • •I don't frequent that world much these days, but I personally preferred the agent/pull model when I did. I can't really articulate why, I think I feel comfortable knowing that the agent will run with the last known config on the machine, potentially correcting any misconfiguration even if the central host is down.
The big debate back in the day was Puppet vs. Chef (before Ansible/SaltStack). Puppet was more declarative, Chef more imperative.
I also admit, I don't like YAML, other than for simple, mostly flat config and serializing.
I further admit that Ansible just has a bigger community these days, and that's worth something. When I need to do a bit of CM these days, I use Ansible.
