Modern data architecture on AWS

A modern data platform should address everything discussed in this paper so far, and offer features that enable different personas in an organization to build mechanisms for end users to consume the data in appropriate ways.

An AWS modern data architecture has 5 pillars:

• Scalable data lakes

• Purpose-built analytics services

• Unified data access

• Unified governance

• Performant and cost-effective

With a modern data architecture on AWS, customers can rapidly build scalable data lakes, use a broad and deep collection of purpose-built data services, ensure compliance with unified data access, security, and governance, scale their systems at a low cost without compromising performance, and easily share data across organizational boundaries, allowing them to make decisions with speed and agility at scale.
