Running H2O on Azure HDInsight

H2O.ai is excited to announce that its AI platform is now available on Microsoft Azure HDInsight. Customers can now use H2O.ai’s Sparkling Water solution on a HDInsight cluster along with Azure’s collection of cloud services.

In this webinar, we’ll walk through the process of setting up an HDI cluster with Spark and Sparkling Water, ingest data from Azure blob storage, clean and prep the data using Spark and build a model with Sparkling Water.

We’ll also demonstrate the ease of use exporting the models and pipeline to scoring service or engine for inference. We’ll use Jupyter notebooks and H2O Flow for the entire workflow.
