What Cloudera Open Data Lakehouse is

Cloudera Open Data Lakehouse combines open table formats with SQL analytics, streaming ingestion, governance catalog capabilities, and ACID transactions. It supports both storage models for organizations choosing how to run lakehouse data. The Lakehouse Optimizer plan is listed at $0.05 a month, billed by Cloudera Compute Unit. It automates Iceberg table optimization, table maintenance, and other lakehouse automations; infrastructure and networking costs are additional. Cloudera Base on premises is an annual subscription with Business Support, with pricing available through sales. That option includes Apache Iceberg tables, Iceberg maintenance and replication, SDX and an Iceberg catalog, plus HDFS, Ozone, or select third-party storage. The product is paid and has no free plan. Buyers therefore choose between a compute-priced optimizer and an on-premises subscription with different included capabilities and cost structures. Its listed functions cover transactional tables, analytics, ingestion, governance, maintenance, and replication.

Who it suits

It suits organizations building lakehouse systems around open table formats, SQL analytics, streaming ingestion, and governance. On-premises teams can consider the Base subscription and its listed storage options.
