Differences vs Huawei
- Query engines and connectors differ.
Migration to Huawei
- Map ingestion, transformation, query semantics, and governance/metadata dependencies. For AWS Amazon Athena, the direct Huawei equivalence layer is DLI; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.
- Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: DLI + DWS + DataArts Fabric. Treat DLI as the core equivalent capability and use the additional services to cover integration, security, observability, and governance gaps.
- Pricing model difference: AWS usually bills query runtime/data scanned plus catalog/storage charges; Huawei usually bills DLI/DWS/MRS/CDM runtime or cluster-spec billing plus storage and transfer. Recalculate TCO with peak load, request volume, retention period, and cross-region/interconnect traffic before production migration.
