Apache HBase on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Apache HBase on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Apache HBase is a distributed, column-oriented NoSQL database modeled on Google's Bigtable, delivering low-latency random access to billions of rows on top of the Hadoop data model. This image is built and maintained by cloudimg on a hardened, fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.

### What's included

• HBase 2.5 standalone (Master, RegionServer, embedded ZooKeeper) on OpenJDK 11, managed by systemd
• All services bound to loopback; the Master status UI on port 80 protected by HTTP Basic authentication
• A unique admin password generated on first boot (no shared default credential)
• Table data stored on a dedicated managed data disk
• Automatic security updates enabled

### Getting started

Browse to the VM's public IP for the Master status UI (sign in with `sudo cat /root/hbase-credentials.txt`), or use the HBase shell locally: `hbase shell`, then `create 'demo','cf'`. The deployment guide on cloudimg.co.uk covers table design, the shell, and day-2 operations.
