Do you need to process your data? Try the new OVHcloud Data Processing cloud service!

Do you need to process your data? Try the new OVHcloud Data Processing service!

One of the data services of OVHcloud is called OVHcloud Data Processing (ODP). It is a service that allows you to submit a processing job without caring about the cluster behind it. You just have to specify the ressources you want to use for your job, and the service will abstract the cluster creation, and destroy it for you as soon as your job is finished. In other words, you don’t have to think about clusters any more. Decide how much resources you need to process your data in the most efficient way for you and let OVHcloud Data Processing do the rest.
