A cloud data warehouse is a database delivered in the public cloud as a managed service that optimizes analytics, scale, and ease of use. It integrates the stores for analytical querying and reporting.
Data warehouses are central repositories of information that can be analyzed to make more informed decisions. Data is entered into data warehouses from transaction systems, relational databases, and other sources, usually at regular rhythms. Business analysts, data scientists, and decision-makers access data through business intelligence (BI) tools, SQL clients, and other analytics applications.
