Create Spark cluster in HDInsight on AKS (Preview)

  • Artikkeli

Note

We will retire Azure HDInsight on AKS on January 31, 2025. Before January 31, 2025, you will need to migrate your workloads to Microsoft Fabric or an equivalent Azure product to avoid abrupt termination of your workloads. The remaining clusters on your subscription will be stopped and removed from the host.

Only basic support will be available until the retirement date.

Important

This feature is currently in preview. The Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews include more legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, in preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability. For information about this specific preview, see Azure HDInsight on AKS preview information. For questions or feature suggestions, please submit a request on AskHDInsight with the details and follow us for more updates on Azure HDInsight Community.

Once the subscription prerequisites and resource prerequisites  steps are complete, and you have a cluster pool deployed, continue to use the Azure portal to create a Spark cluster. You can use the Azure portal to create an Apache Spark cluster in cluster pool. You can then create a Jupyter Notebook and use it to run Spark SQL queries against Apache Hive tables.

  1. In the Azure portal, type cluster pools, and select cluster pools to go to the cluster pools page. On the cluster pools page, select the cluster pool in which you can add a new Spark cluster.

  2. On the specific cluster pool page, click + New cluster.

    This step opens the cluster create page.
