Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) with Thales Luna HSM - Integration Guide

Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) combines Hortonworks and Cloudera technologies to deliver industry’s first enterprise data cloud. CDP delivers powerful self-service analytics across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, along with sophisticated and granular security and governance policies that IT and data leaders demand. It was initially delivered as a public cloud service and followed up with Data Center, a comprehensive data management and analytics platform for on-premises IT environments. Cloudera Manager is a component of Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) that can be used to manage, configure, and monitor CDP Data Center clusters and Cloudera Runtime services.

This integration describes how to use Cloudera Manager for configuring Ranger KMS and Key Trustee Server that secure the Data at Rest Encryption Keys on Thales Luna HSM. The benefits of securing the cryptographic keys with a Thales Luna HSM include:

  • Secure generation, storage and protection of keys on FIPS 140-2 level 3 validated hardware
  • Full life cycle management of the keys
  • Access to the HSM secure audit trail
