Profiles Compute profiles tell CDAP which provisioner to use when creating a cluster and specify the cluster configuration. They also specify the provisioner configuration that should be used when creating a cluster.
Native Compute Profile
The native profile is a special profile that runs programs natively in the same environment that CDAP runs in. Before Cloud Runtimes were introduced, this was the only way to run programs. With the CDAP Sandbox, this means programs run in the same JVM as CDAP. With CDAP Distributed, this means programs run in the same YARN cluster that CDAP is running in.
Scope
Each compute profile has a scope: system or user. You can use system compute profiles in any namespace. User compute profiles exist within a namespace, and only programs in that namespace can use user compute profiles.
To create a system compute profile, navigate to the CDAP administration page. This page includes a list of all system compute profiles and the button to create a system compute profile.
To create a user compute profile, navigate to the CDAP administration page and then navigate to the namespace that you want to create the profile in. From there, you can create a profile that exists only within that namespace.
Creation
To create a compute profile, first select the provisioner that the profile uses to create and configure the cloud runtime.
