In this post, we explore the process of federating into AWS using Microsoft Entra ID and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), and how to restrict access to datasets based on permissions linked to AD groups. We guide you through the setup process, and demonstrate how to seamlessly connect to the Redshift Query Editor while making sure data access permissions are accurately enforced based on your Microsoft Entra ID groups.

This post introduces the new HubSpot managed connector for AWS Glue, and demonstrates how you can integrate HubSpot data into your existing data lake on AWS. By consolidating HubSpot data with data from your AWS accounts and from other SaaS services, you can enhance, analyze, and optionally write the data back to HubSpot, creating a seamless and integrated data experience.

Now, we are announcing general availability (GA) of Amazon Redshift multi-data warehouse writes through data sharing. This new capability allows you to scale your write workloads and achieve better performance for extract, transform, and load (ETL) workloads by using different warehouses of different types and sizes based on your workload needs.

In this post, we explore how to use Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition Zero-ETL integration with Amazon Redshift and dbt Cloud to enable near real-time analytics. By using dbt Cloud for data transformation, data teams can focus on writing business rules to drive insights from their transaction data to respond effectively to critical, time sensitive events.

In this post, we explore how Apache XTable, combined with the AWS Glue Data Catalog, enables background conversions between open table formats residing on Amazon S3-based data lakes, with minimal to no changes to existing pipelines, in a scalable and cost-effective way.

In this post, we demonstrate how to launch a high availability instance fleet cluster using the newly redesigned Amazon EMR console, as well as using an AWS CloudFormation template. We also go over the basic concepts of Hadoop high availability, EMR instance fleets, the benefits and trade-offs of high availability, and best practices for running resilient EMR clusters.

In this post, we show you how to manage user access to enterprise documents in generative AI-powered tools according to the access you assign to each persona. This post illustrates how to build a document search RAG solution that makes sure only authorized users can access and interact with specific documents based on their roles, departments, and other relevant attributes. It combines OpenSearch Service and Amazon Cognito custom attributes to make a tag-based access control mechanism that makes it straightforward to manage at scale.

By harnessing the capabilities of generative AI, you can automate the generation of comprehensive metadata descriptions for your data assets based on their documentation, enhancing discoverability, understanding, and the overall data governance within your AWS Cloud environment. This post shows you how to enrich your AWS Glue Data Catalog with dynamic metadata using foundation models (FMs) on Amazon Bedrock and your data documentation.

This second post of a two-part series that details how Volkswagen Autoeuropa, a Volkswagen Group plant, together with AWS, built a data solution with a robust governance framework using Amazon DataZone to become a data-driven factory. Part 1 of this series focused on the customer challenges, overall solution architecture and solution features, and how they helped Volkswagen Autoeuropa overcome their challenges. This post dives into the technical details, highlighting the robust data governance framework that enables ease of access to quality data using Amazon DataZone.

In this post, we show how to use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to buffer and aggregate real-time streaming data for delivery into Amazon OpenSearch Service domains and collections using Amazon OpenSearch Ingestion. You can use this approach for a variety of use cases, from real-time log analytics to integrating application messaging data for real-time search. In this post, we focus on the use case for centralizing log aggregation for an organization that has a compliance need to archive and retain its log data.
