AWS Glue, a serverless data integration and extract, transform, and load (ETL) service, has […]

Amazon Redshift is a fast, petabyte-scale, cloud data warehouse that tens of thousands of customers rely on to power their analytics workloads. Data analysts and database developers want to use this data to train machine learning (ML) models, which can then be used to generate insights on new data for use cases such as forecasting […]

In this post, we discuss how AWS can help you successfully address the challenges of extracting insights from unstructured data. We discuss various design patterns and architectures for extracting and cataloging valuable insights from unstructured data using AWS. Additionally, we show how to use AWS AI/ML services for analyzing unstructured data.

In this post, we use Azure Blob Storage as an example and demonstrate how the new connector works, introduce the connector’s functions, and provide you with key steps to set it up. We provide you with prerequisites, share how to subscribe to this connector in AWS Marketplace, and describe how to create and run AWS Glue for Apache Spark jobs with it. Regarding the Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 Connector, we highlight any major differences in this post.

Data lakes and data warehouses are two of the most important data storage and management technologies in a modern data architecture. Data lakes store all of an organization’s data, regardless of its format or structure. An open table format such as Apache Hudi, Delta Lake, or Apache Iceberg is widely used to build data lakes […]

In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on price transparency in the healthcare industry. Under the Transparency in Coverage (TCR) rule, hospitals and payors to publish their pricing data in a machine-readable format. With this move, patients can compare prices between different hospitals and make informed healthcare decisions. For more information, refer to […]

Data governance is the process of ensuring the integrity, availability, usability, and security of an organization’s data. Due to the volume, velocity, and variety of data being ingested in data lakes, it can get challenging to develop and maintain policies and procedures to ensure data governance at scale for your data lake. In this post, we showcase how to use AWS Glue with AWS Glue Data Quality, sensitive data detection transforms, and AWS Lake Formation tag-based access control to automate data governance.
