Differences vs Huawei
- Permission and catalog constructs differ.
Migration to Huawei
- Map ingestion, transformation, query semantics, and governance/metadata dependencies. For AWS AWS Lake Formation, the direct Huawei equivalence layer is Lake Formation + DataArts Fabric; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.
- Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: DataArts Fabric + DGC + OBS. Treat Lake Formation + DataArts Fabric 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/compute runtime, scanned or processed data, and storage; 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.
