Unlocking the true value of data often gets impeded by siloed information. Traditional data management—wherein each business unit ingests raw data in separate data lakes or warehouses—hinders visibility and cross-functional analysis. Amazon DataZone natively supports data sharing for Amazon Redshift data assets.

Data lakes are a popular choice for today’s organizations to store their data around their business activities. As a best practice of a data lake design, data should be immutable once stored. A data lake built on AWS uses Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) as its primary storage environment.

For many enterprises, a hybrid cloud data lake is no longer a trend, but becoming reality. Due to these needs, hybrid cloud data lakes emerged as a logical middle ground between the two consumption models. Without business context, business users are less likely to use the data lake and insights will be hard to come by.
