Running Spark on Kubernetes with Dataproc

Apache Spark is now the de facto standard for data engineering, data exploration and machine learning. Just likeKubernetes (k8s), is for automating containerized application deployment, scaling, and management. The open source ecosystem is now converging towards utilizing k8s as the compute platform in addition to YARN.

Today, we are announcing the general availability of Dataproc on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), enabling you to leverage k8s to manage and optimize your compute platforms. You can now create a Dataproc cluster and submit Spark jobs on a self-managed GKE cluster.
