New Quick Start: Build a Data Lake on the AWS Cloud with Informatica Data Lake Management and AWS Services

Posted On: Jan 25, 2018

NOTE: This Quick Start is no longer available. See the Quick Start home page for our latest Quick Start catalog.

This Quick Start reference deployment automatically deploys the Informatica Data Lake Management solution on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. 

A data lake uses a single, Hadoop-based data repository that you create to manage data supply and demand. Informatica’s solution integrates, organizes, administers, governs, and secures large volumes of structured and unstructured data. It delivers actionable and reliable information for business insights. 

Deploying this Quick Start builds the Informatica Data Lake environment and embeds Hadoop clusters in the virtual private cloud (VPC) for metadata storage and processing. 

The deployment includes an Amazon EMR cluster for Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and Hive, and sets up Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Redshift environments for data scanning. The Informatica domain and repository database are hosted on Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) using Oracle. 

AWS CloudFormation templates automate the deployment and provide customization options for network resources, Informatica settings, and AWS services.
