Tip: Google can read out loud almost any story on your Android phone

When you invoke the Assistant while looking at an article and say something like "Read it," "Read this page," or "Read it to me," it will give you an audiobook version of the content you're seeing. You can even try that with the text right here.

Enterprise Data Warehouses (EDWs): Economics, Deployment, and Maintenance

  • AWS Redshift: the size and quantity of the instances required to handle ingest and workload must be predicted. 
  • Microsoft Azure SQL DW: users must choose the cDWU rating that best meets their needs. 
  • Snowflake users must determine the mix of storage and the size of the virtual data warehouse that best suits the needs of each business unit as well as for a dedicated warehouse used for loading data.
  • BigQuery: customers do not have to plan and size the configuration to meet their needs. BigQuery is completely serverless and customers do not have to plan or adjust the supporting infrastructure.
