Platform enhancements
The following table lists the new features that were introduced in Cloud Pak for Data Version 3.5.
What's new | What does it mean for me? |
---|---|
Customize the home page |
In Cloud Pak for Data
Version 3.5, you can customize the home page in two ways:
These features are offered in addition to the branding features that were introduced in Cloud Pak for Data 3.0.1. |
Create user groups |
A Cloud Pak for Data
administrator can create user groups to make it easier to manage large numbers of users who need
similar permissions.
When you create a user group, you specify the roles that all of the members of the group have. If you configure a connection to an LDAP server, user groups can include:
You can assign a user group access to various assets on the platform in the same way
that you assign an individual user access. The benefit of a group is that it is easier to:

|
Manage your cluster resources with quotas |
Cloud Pak for Data Version
3.5 makes it easier to manage and monitor your Cloud Pak for Data deployment.
The Platform management page gives you a quick overview of the services, service instances, environments, and pods running in your Cloud Pak for Data deployment. The Platform management page also shows any unhealthy or pending pods. If you see an issue, you can use the cards on the page to drill down to get more information about the problem. In addition, you can see your current vCPU and memory use. You can optionally set quotas to help you track your actual use against your target use. When you set quotas, you specify alert thresholds for vCPU and memory use. When you reach the alert threshold, the platform sends you an alert so that you aren't surprised by unexpected spikes in resource use. For
details, see:
|
Manage and monitor production workloads |
The Deployment spaces page gives you a dashboard that
you can use to monitor and manage production workloads in multiple deployment spaces.
This page
makes it easier for Operations Engineers to manage jobs and online deployments, regardless of where
they are running. The dashboard helps you assess the status of workloads, identify issues, and
manage workloads. You can use this page to:
Common core services This feature is available only when the Cloud Pak for Data common core services are installed. The common core services are automatically installed by services that rely on them. If you don't see the Deployment spaces page, it's because none of the services that are installed on your environment rely on the common core services. |
Store secrets in a secure vault |
Cloud Pak for Data
introduces a new set of APIs that you can use to protect access to sensitive data. You can create a
vault that you can use to store:
For more information, see Credentials and secrets API. |
Improved navigation | |
Manage connections more easily |
The Connections page makes it easier for
administrators to define and manage connections and for users to find connections.
The Connections page is a catalog of connections that can be used by various services across the platform. Any user who has access to the platform can see the connections on this page. However, only users with the credentials for the underlying data source can use a connection. Users who have the Admin role on the connections catalog can create and manage these connections. Unlike previous releases of Cloud Pak for Data, services can refer to these connections, rather than creating local copies. This means that any changes you make on the Connections page are automatically cascaded to the services that use the connection. Common core services This feature is available only when the Cloud Pak for Data common core services are installed. The common core services are automatically installed by services that rely on them. If you don't see the Connections page, it's because none of the services that are installed on your environment rely on the common core services. For more information, see:
|
Workflows for managing business processes |
You can use workflows to manage your business processes. For example,
when you install Watson Knowledge
Catalog, the service
includes predefined workflow templates that you can use to control the process of creating,
updating, and deleting governance artifacts.
From the Workflow management page, you can define and configure the types of workflows that you need to support your business processes. You can import and configure BPMN files from Flowable. Service The feature is available only if Watson Knowledge Catalog is installed. For details, see Workflows. |
Connect to storage volumes |
In Cloud Pak for Data
Version 3.5, you can connect to storage volumes from the Connections page or
from services that support storage volume connections.
The storage volumes can be on external Network File System (NFS) storage or persistent volume claims (PVCs). This feature lets you access the files that are stored in these volumes from Jupyter Notebooks, Spark jobs, projects, and more. For details, see Connecting to data sources. You can also create and manage volumes from the Storage volumes page. For more information, see Managing storage volumes. |
Improved backup and restore process |
The backup and restore utility can now call hooks provided by Cloud Pak for Data services to perform the quiesce operation.
Quiesce hooks offer optimizations and other enhancements compared to scaling down all Kubernetes resources. Services might be quiesced and
unquiesced in a certain order, or services might be suspended without having to bring down pods to
reduce the time it takes to bring down applications and bring them back up. For more information,
see Backing up the file system to a local
repository or object store.

New cpd-cli commands |
You can use the Cloud Pak for Data command line interface to:
|
Use your Cloud Pak for Data credentials to authenticate to a data source |
Some data sources now allow you to use your Cloud Pak for Data credentials for authentication. Log in to
Cloud Pak for Data and never enter credentials for the
data source connection. If you change your Cloud Pak for Data password, you don't need to change the password
for each data source connection. Data sources that support Cloud Pak for Data credentials have the selection Use
your Cloud Pak for Data credentials to authenticate to
the data source on the data source connection page. When you add a new connection to a
project, the selection is available under Personal credentials.
The following data sources support Cloud Pak for Data credentials:

IBM Open Data for Industries | Separately priced |
Collect, describe, and provide your data according to Oil & Gas industry
standards.
IBM Open Data for Industries provides a toolset that supports an industry-standard methodology for collecting and describing Oil & Gas data and serving that data to various applications and services that consume it. IBM Open Data for Industries provides a reference implementation for a data platform to integrate silos and simplify access to this data for stakeholders. It standardizes the data schemas and provides a set of unified APIs for bringing data into Cloud Pak for Data, describing, validating, finding, and retrieving data elements and their metadata. Effectively, Open Data for Industries becomes a system of record for subsurface and wells data. Application developers can use these APIs to create applications that are directly connected to the stakeholder's data sets. After the application is developed, it requires minimal or no customization to deploy it for multiple stakeholders that adhere to the same APIs and data schemas. In addition, stakeholders can use these APIs to connect their applications with the platform and take advantage of the seamless data lifecycle in Cloud Pak for Data.
