Teradata supports VantageCloud Lake use of Anaconda for building conda environments and workspaces to run Python analytic workloads on Open Analytics Framework.
This capability benefits Vantage users in a multitude of ways:
- Data scientists use Anaconda extensively to develop analytic workflows and applications. Their familiarity hastens the development, instill confidence and improve overall quality of data science projects to solve business problems.
- Anaconda provides a secure Python repository to download and install vetted packages for data science machine learning, deep learning and AI use cases instead of obtaining them from publicly available repositories.
- Anaconda includes the necessary runtime binaries and software dependencies for all the 3rd party Python packages to enable running of various analytic workloads. This overcomes the tedious work of building and installing dependencies prior to using open source Python analytic packages.
