Can you really move an analytics workload to the cloud with a mouse click?
One of the benefits of the cloud is the agility to create and delete computing instances. However, to make the cloud instance functional for analytics, many manual steps are needed before the users can start their work. Teradata’s Consulting Services solved this problem by creating a customizable platform that can automatically spin up an AWS Teradata instance and move an existing Teradata workload with the click of a mouse. This presentation will explore how they did it, show a demo and discuss the lessons learned.
