Cloudera distribute a controlled and tested version of Hadoop called "CDH" and provide a management tool called Cloudera Manager. This is used for admin of the Hadoop cluster and also by the PNDA setup scripts to install the Hadoop services. PNDA includes CDH but also adds Kafka, Gobblin, OpenTSDB, Jupyter and loads more components you need for a more complete data platform, plus testing and application deployment frameworks. The PNDA console provides an overview across all of these things.
