Why Cloud for Data
Management?
To take advantage of new data
sources and accelerate analytics,
organizations are turning to cloud
solutions for data management.
Operational leaders are leveraging
self-service and on-demand
scalability to rapidly address their
changing analytic needs. Cloud-
native data warehouse platform are
appearing to further simplify the use
of data as-is and to scale up and
down to meet demand.
Every database solution has its own nuances that build on its architecture and
that of the underlying cloud platform. Snowflake is well-known for its ease of
scalability, data flexibility, and management. These benefits depend on the
proper utilization of Snowflake’s underlying clustering and partitioning
features. Further, Snowflake builds on native cloud services such as S3, EC2,
IAM and VPC to deliver its service experience. The combination of Snowflake
and AWS services, ensure a scalable and secure data warehouse platform.
This workshop reviews both the proposed Snowflake architecture patterns and
the foundational cloud services. The workshop is conducting by subject-matter
experts in both Snowflake and AWS with multiple years of experience scaling
the platform across multiple real-world use cases and industries. AWS’s Well-
Architected framework evaluates your solution for 1) Operational excellence,
2) Scalability, 3) Security, 4) Availability, and 5) Cost.
