Hey all,
I'm trying to learn how to use some of the big data stores. Specifically I want to learn how to use CassandraDB and Hadoop. Originally I'd had the idea of trying to setup a cassandra ring on the Amazon AWS free tier. However it seems that neither will run on a t2.micro instance.
Google Cloud are now offering $300 worth of compute in their cloud trial. If you manage to test everything you need under $300, you'd be ok :-) .
