As mentioned in aprevious blog, we are on a journey to develop and improve the connectivity between RapidMiner Cloud and any external data sources. The goal is to allow users to incorporate external data into their workflows, be it as input or output.
We plan to incorporate connectivity in 4 phases, and we have now completed phase 2:
- Phase 1: connections are available, but the user still needs Studio to create and edit them (complete).
- Phase 2:it will be possible to add and edit connections directly in the cloud (complete).
- Phase 3: connections will be shareable among multiple users and projects.
- Phase 4templat:可以创建连接es which can be shared in a secure way without credentials or other sensitive data.
Phase 2 is actually the most important, because it makes connections usable in any RapidMiner project. The remaining task is to improve connection management for large environments.
