The pricing is expensive compared to OpenStack, but cheaper than other cloud environments. It's middle-of-the-road for regular storage yet very cost-effective when using Amazon Glacier for data.

The pricing really depends on the kind of contract you have with AWS and who is selling you the AWS services. There are many ways to consume AWS services. It depends on whether you have an enterprise license, if you're buying direct, if you're using Lake Formation or other products. It's not an easy answer to give because there are so many variables. In general, though, AWS Lake Formation works hand in hand with other products. You're not just paying for Lake Formation; you also need S3, Glue, Athena, and other services to get the full value out of the data lake. No one buys a data lake just to store data—it’s actively used to retrieve, query, and gain insights that provide a competitive edge. So, the pricing becomes a bit complex because it involves more than just Lake Formation.
AWS Lake Formation is a service that makes it easy to set up a secure data lake in days. A data lake is a centralized, curated, and secured repository that stores all your data, both in its original form and prepared for analysis.
