Summary

An IBM Analytics Engine instance is allocated compute and memory resources on demand when Spark applications are started. When an application is not in running state, no computing resources are allocated to the instance. Pricing is based on the amount of resources consumed by the applications running in the instance, billed on a per second basis.

Features and capabilities

Benefit from the advantages of open source

Create and run your Spark applications on the latest open source Apache Spark versions.

Customize to your own preferences

Use customizations to bring in all your Spark application dependencies.

Leverage the serverless experience

Each instance is allocated compute and memory resources on demand at the time Spark workloads are deployed. Pricing is based only on the amount of resources consumed when applications are running.

Exploit the cloud-native gains

Benefit from the improved security offered by Identity and Access Management across all cloud-native service offerings.
Forward your application logs to a cloud-native service to troubleshoot your IBM Analytics Engine issues.
