The document discusses the evolution of data architectures towards lake house models, integrating data warehouses and data lakes for more comprehensive analytics. It highlights the capabilities of Amazon Redshift and related AWS services like Redshift Spectrum, which allow seamless querying of data across various platforms without data duplication. It also provides information on service performance, cost benefits, and tools available for implementing these data strategies.

11. Data warehousing: Amazon Redshift
Best performance,
most scalable
3x faster with RA3*
10x faster with AQUA*
Adds unlimited compute capacity
on-demand to meet unlimited
concurrent access
Lowest cost
Cost-optimized workloads
by paying compute and
storage separately
1/10th cost of Traditional
DW at $1000/TB/year
Up to 75% less than other
cloud data warehouses &
predictable costs
Data lake &
AWS integration
Analyze exabytes of data across
data warehouse, data lakes, and
operational database
Query data across various
analytics services
Most secure
& compliant
AWS-grade security (eg. VPC,
encryption with KMS, CloudTrail)
All major certifications such
as SOC, PCI, DSS, ISO,
FedRAMP, HIPPA
First and most popular cloud data warehouse

13. Redshift enables you to have a lake house approach
Companies moving to data lake architectures
Data warehouse
(business data)
Data lake
(event data)
Redshift

14. • Have one foot in a data warehouse, and one foot in a data lake
• Store highly structured, frequently accessed data in Redshift
• Keep exabytes of structured and unstructured data in S3
• Query seamlessly across both to provide unique insights that you
would not be able to obtain by querying independent datasets
Without moving or transforming data!
Redshift Lake House

15. Redshift Lake House Architecture
Powered by the following capabilities:
Amazon Redshift Spectrum
Query open format data directly in
the Amazon S3 data lake without
having to load the data or
duplicating your infrastructure.
Data Lake Export
Save the results of an Amazon Redshift
query directly to your S3 data lake in
an open file format (Apache Parquet)
using Data Lake Export.
Federated Query
Federated Query enables
Amazon Redshift to query data
directly in Amazon RDS and
Aurora PostgreSQL stores.

16. Redshift Spectrum is a feature of Redshift that allows Redshift SQL queries to
reference external data on Amazon S3 as they would any other table in Amazon
Redshift
RedshiftSpectrum
• Allows for querying of potentially exabytes of
data in an S3 data lake from within Amazon
Redshift
• Data is queried in-place, so no loading of data
into your Redshift cluster is required
• Keeps your data warehouse lean by ingesting
warm data locally while keeping other data in
the data lake within reach
• Write query results from Redshift direct to S3
external tables
• Powered by a separate fleet of powerful Amazon
Redshift Spectrum nodes

17. Queries on RDS and Aurora

Query is optimized and compiled using ML at
the leader node. Determine what gets run
locally and what goes to Amazon Redshift
Spectrum.

Compute nodes obtain partition info
from Data Catalog; dynamically prune
partitions

Each compute node issues multiple
requests to the Amazon Redshift
Spectrum layer
