About Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Data Flow
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Data Flow is a fully managed Apache Spark service to perform processing tasks on extremely large data sets without infrastructure to deploy or manage. This enables rapid application delivery because developers can focus on app development, not infrastructure management. OCI Data Flow handles infrastructure provisioning, network setup, and teardown when Spark jobs are complete. Storage and security are also managed, which means less work is required for creating and managing Spark applications for big data analysis. With OCI Data Flow, there are no clusters to install, patch, or upgrade, which saves time and operational costs for projects. OCI Data Flow runs each Spark job in private dedicated resources, eliminating the need for upfront capacity planning. With OCI Data Flow, IT only needs to pay for the infrastructure resources that Spark jobs use while they are running.
