BigQuery Omni Cuts Multi-cloud Log Ingestion, Analysis Costs

BigQuery Omni is a multi-cloud data analytics solution that lets you use BigLake tables to perform BigQuery analytics on data kept in Azure Blob Storage or Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)

Gathering log data: gathers log data from the applications and/or infrastructure of the enterprise. A popular method for gathering this data is to save it in an object storage program like Google Cloud Storage in JSONL file format.

Normalization of log data: Various infrastructures and applications produce distinct JSONL files. The fields in each file are specific to the program or infrastructure that produced it

Indexing and storage: To lower storage and query expenses and improve query performance, normalized data should be stored effectively

Querying and visualization: Enable enterprises to run analytics queries to find known threads, abnormalities, or anti-patterns in the log data through querying and visualization

Data lifecycle: While storage expenses persist, the usefulness of log data declines with age. A data lifecycle procedure must be established in order to maximize costs

Minimal egress costs: By storing the data locally, you can avoid transmitting large amounts of unprocessed information between cloud providers
