Greater than 100 MB to 1 GBFlat $9.99
Greater than 1 GB to 10 GB$9.99 for first GB, $3.996 for each additional GB

The knowledge of the people and their abilities influenced the plans.

The Clusters must have Uptime as long as we can achive. Data Modeling - is so important too. Challenges and Problems in the data bases systems Lots of DB’s Lots of creators / no standards Lots of Consumers (Query, tools, SLA) Raw data Lots of data resources Data silos In Data Engineering we have other challenges for example we have Data lake and Data Warehouses : Batch process. Stream Process. many data ...
