Cloudera is thrilled to announce the General Availability of Cloudera Runtime 7.3.2 Service Pack 2 (SP2), accelerating our vision of AI Anywhere, Cloud Anywhere, and Data Anywhere. This release extends the functionality of our Long-Term Support (LTS) 7.3.2 release to on-premises environments, providing a guaranteed operational runway through March 2032 and building on three strategic pillars: Modern Architectures, Hybrid Cloud, and Platform Fortification.

Release Highlights

  1. On-Premises Iceberg Tables: Transforms Iceberg tables on Cloudera Object Storage (powered by Apache Ozone) into a high-performance, secure, and governed consumption layer for on-premises environments.
  2. On-Premises Data Sharing: Harnesses enterprise data gravity to power cross-platform analytics and cutting-edge agentic AI workflows across internal units and external partners via zero-copy, read-only access.
  3. Enterprise-Grade Security and Governance: Data Sharing is built on uncompromising security using Apache Knox for authentication and credential vending, Apache Ranger for coarse-grained authorization, and the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog open standard for interoperability.
  4. Ultra-Scalable Object Storage: Leverages Apache Ozone for ultra-scalable, high-performance, on-premises object storage and bulletproof data persistence.
  5. Long-Term Support (LTS) Guarantees: Backed by a six-year, guaranteed lifecycle delivering enterprise stability, critical fixes, and security updates through mid-2032.
