Native Object Store (NOS) is a Teradata capability that lets you query data stored in external object stores — such as Azure Blob Storage, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, AWS S3, and Google Cloud Storage — using standard Teradata SQL. NOS supports CSV, JSON, and Parquet formats.

NOS is enabled out of the box on all Teradata editions from Teradata Express through TeradataCloud Lake, starting from version 17.10.

For full NOS documentation see the Teradata NOS Getting Started Guide.
