- Azure Data Lake Analytics is an on-demand analytics job service that simplifies big data.
- Instead of deploying, configuring, and tuning hardware, you write queries to transform your data and extract valuable insights.
- The analytics service can handle jobs of any scale instantly by setting the dial for how much power you need.
- Data Lake Analytics dynamically provisions resources and lets you do analytics on terabytes to petabytes of data.
- Visualizations of your U-SQL jobs let you see how your code runs at scale, so you can easily identify performance bottlenecks and optimize costs.
- Data Lake Analytics includes U-SQL, a query language that extends the familiar, simple, declarative nature of SQL with the expressive power of C#.
- The U-SQL language uses the same distributed runtime that powers Microsoft's internal exabyte-scale data lake.
- Data Lake Analytics uses your existing IT investments for identity, management, and security.
- This approach simplifies data governance and makes it easy to extend your current data applications.
- It is integrated with Active Directory for user management and permissions and comes with built-in monitoring and auditing.
- Iworks with Azure Data Lake Store for the highest performance, throughput, and parallelization and works with Storage blobs, Azure SQL Database, Azure Data Warehouse.
