Data movement
AWS makes it easy for you to combine, move, and replicate data across multiple data stores and your data lake.
Ease of use
AWS allows you to easily move data between the data lake and purpose-built data services. For example, AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service that makes it easy to prepare data for analytics, machine learning, and application development.
Faster data integration
AWS gives you the ability to query data across different data sources such as databases, data lakes, and data warehouses. For example, Amazon Athena enables you to use SQL to query a data lake and federated query lets you query live data from relational databases.
Ease of movement
With data stored in a number of different systems, AWS allows you to easily move that data between all of your services and data stores: inside out, outside in, and around the perimeter.
