Cheat sheet with the key network elements you need to connect with your Teradata VantageCloud Lake on Azure and a detailed explanation.
Category: Cloud
According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Cloud is a model. It enables ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Those resources are networks, servers, storage, applications, and services. The Cloud allows quickly provisioning the resources with minimal effort or interaction.
In my opinion, the main benefit of the Cloud is that it allows innovation with native technologies. For example, several Machine Learning services are not available on-prem.
It also improves collaboration by making access to the data easier for anyone who needs it – anywhere, anytime within an organisation.
Moreover, the Cloud services perform many operations under the covers, so you can spend more time doing more practical tasks for your business, rather than just making maintenance tasks. Most of the services already do many of those tasks for you, such as scaling up and down automatically or collecting statistics in some databases.
With the increasing adoption of the Cloud paradigm, it has become critical to design and maintain hybrid architectures. In these scenarios, organisations perform part of their operations on-prem, streaming data to the Cloud. I explain different situations, use cases, and solutions in this category.
Additionally, it is pretty frequent that companies migrate their databases. For me, the secret sauce on an excellent migration is to plan carefully. I dedicate some posts on different aspects of database migration. However, I always insist on the tips to architect and design the migrations.
Equally important is keeping an analytical ecosystem in the Cloud. So I also have some posts on best practices for these ecosystems and how to leverage their benefits and native technologies.

Post that includes an infographic summarising the critical VantageCloud Lake elements and the basis for using them for a quick start.
The Path of a Query in VantageCloud Lake
This post explains the path a query takes to move through VantageCloud Lake and what steps execute on every cluster.
Session Manager in Lake: The Key to High Availability
The Session Manager routes requests from the client application to the Primary Cluster in VantageCloud Lake. Teradata designed the Session Manager to provide users with an additional high-availability layer. The reason is that the Session Manager minimises the impact of planned and unplanned outages on the workload running on the Lake instances. This post explains how the Session Manager works, how it behaves with intended and unplanned outages, and the Blue-Green upgrades.
