HDInsight is a platform that provides a facility to provision Hadoop, Spark, Storm, HBase, Kafka clusters, and R Servers on Windows Azure.

Now, you will learn how to set up a Hadoop cluster on Windows Azure. First, you will require blob storage for provisioning the Hadoop cluster on Windows Azure. The specified blob container will act as a file system like HDFS.

How to Create Blob Storage

Log onto the Azure portal.

On the left pane of the portal,  select New > Storage > Storage account.Image title

In the Create Storage dialog, provide the cluster name and select the kind of account and its performance.

Select Replication depending on your choice. You will see three types of replication: locally redundant storage (LRS), geo-redundant storage (GRS), and read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS).

Select the Subscription and Resource group where you need create your blob storage. You can create these or use existing resource groups.

Select the Location where you need to create your blob storage and then click Create.Image title

2. Configure Basic Settings

In the basic dialog, provide Cluster name and Subscription.

Click Cluster configuration and select Cluster type to Hadoop from the drop-down. Then, change the Operating system from Windows to Version.

Provide your username and password. Provide the remote desktop username and it will require you to RDP the Hadoop cluster.

Select the existing Resource group or create a new one where you need to host your Hadoop cluster.

Select the Location where you need to create your Hadoop cluster and click Next.

Similarly, you can provision Spark, Storm, Kafka, and HBase with Windows Azure HDInsight.

Now, you know how to create blob storage and HDInsight Hadoop clusters with Windows Azure!
