Alibaba Cloud OpenLake is an all-in-one big data, search, and AI solution built on an open and controllable data lakehouse. It uses the Data Lake Formation (DLF) metadata management platform to manage structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, providing secure access and I/O acceleration for lakehouse tables and files. The solution supports multi-engine integration and collaborative computing, unified development through DataWorks, and scheduling for large-scale tasks. We provide a one-click service to activate all related cloud products for the OpenLake solution. After your purchase, we will initialize a trial environment for the OpenLake solution, create resource instances, and import best-practice cases to help you explore the solution.
Solution overview
The Alibaba Cloud OpenLake solution, built on an open and controllable OpenLake lakehouse, provides integrated services for big data, search, and AI. Based on a public lakehouse in Object Storage Service (OSS) and integrated with the Data Lake Formation (DLF) metadata management platform, it supports the management of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. This ensures secure access to data tables and files, with create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) capabilities and I/O acceleration. The solution supports connections to multiple big data, search, and AI engines, enabling collaborative computing across them. By using the integrated IDE or Notebooks in DataWorks, you can perform multi-engine SQL or Python development in a unified environment, with support for visual scheduling and concurrent execution of large-scale tasks. You can easily create OpenLake lakehouse tables, perform data operations across different computing engines, and expose data for search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) by building multi-modal indexes. Within the same development environment, you can integrate AI feature engineering, model training, and online prediction to enhance data processing and analysis efficiency.
To help you quickly experience the full capabilities of the OpenLake solution, you can use a one-click service to activate the required products and initialize a trial environment.
