Cloudera Data Lake Service

What Cloudera Data Lake Service is

Cloudera Data Lake Service provides data governance, metadata, access controls, and auditing capabilities for data lake workloads. It automatically captures schema and metadata definitions discovered or created by platform workloads. Teams can search metadata, trace lineage and chain of custody, classify and profile data, and maintain a business glossary. Security features include role- and attribute-based policies, auditing of unauthorized access, and encryption at rest and in motion with key management. Apache Ranger can apply access rules at database, table, column, and file levels, including conditions such as time or geolocation. Apache Knox provides a protected single sign-on gateway, while a cluster includes Hive Metastore, Ranger, Atlas, and Knox. Cloudera supports light-duty and enterprise Data Lakes on AWS, Azure, and GCP, with API endpoints available through the Cloudera Management Console. The service supports hybrid deployment, SQL analytics, streaming ingestion, data sharing, and open table formats. The pricing note starts at $0.20, while the listed plan says Contact Sales for pricing; cloud prices exclude infrastructure and networking costs.
