You can manage all services from one place in an integrated manner

We switched to Airflow because Cloudera is outdated. It's not widely used. It would be good if we had the Spark 3.5. Spark is quite old. Cloudera is now offering an alternate solution as a replacement for AWS. AWS works badly with small files. The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions. It should be containerized so we can deploy it as containers within Kubernetes. We had one upgrade from CDH to CDP, which lasted for a long time. And I would expect with containerized deployment, it would be upgraded much more quickly than we had the experience.
