Get Started Quickly with Cloudera Enterprise Free

While you can download CDH at no cost right now and spin up a cluster, it's not a trivial operation. Instead, we recommend you get started using Cloudera Enterprise Free which includes CDH and Cloudera Manager Free Edition. Using this powerful management automation platform is the fastest and easiest path to getting your Hadoop cluster up and running. Once your cluster is operational, you can make the move to Cloudera Enterprise Core, our subscription that includes the fully-featured Cloudera Manager for an unlimited number of nodes, plus technical support for CDH.
