AWS Data Pipeline support for templates

Posted on: Nov 26, 2014

You can now create a pipeline from the AWS Management Console by selecting one of 13 sample templates. Using a template makes it easy for you to configure and activate a pipeline by providing relevant parameters. For example, you can select a template that loads AWS detailed billing report into Amazon Redshift, provide values for parameters such as an Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket, the name of an Amazon Redshift table, etc., to create a pipeline. Other sample templates you can choose from include uses cases such as Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) to Amazon Redshift, loading data into Amazon RDS for MySQL and running Amazon Elastic MapReduce jobs.

You can also build your own templates and use them to create pipelines with the AWS Command Line Interface. To learn more about building your own templates click here.
