The Cloudera data platform now integrates directly with AWS services to build an open data lakehouse in the cloud.

Cloudera announces the strategic partnership agreement with AWS in a press release. It’s about deepening the existing relationship between the two companies, as the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) was already available through the AWS Marketplace. The data platform now integrates even more deeply with AWS services to scale and lower the cost of cloud-native data management and analytics, with the ultimate goal of establishing an open data lakehouse for generative AI.

Cloudera partners with AWS to run key components of its platform. Think data in motion, data lake house, data warehouse, operational database, AI/machine learning, master data management and end-to-end security. This collaboration helps customers quickly migrate to CDP in the cloud without redesigning applications while supporting hybrid deployments.

Direct integration

In fact, CDP was designed to integrate directly with native AWS services, the press release states. The Cloudera platform seamlessly communicates with applications such as Amazon Simple Storage Service, Elastic Kubernetes Service, and Elastic Compute Cloud. Customers also don’t have to manage these integrations themselves.

With tighter integration of hardware and AWS services, customers get the best possible experience, security, and governance, as well as cost-effective options to support their most critical analytics workloads,” said Paul Codding, executive vice president of product management at Cloudera.
