This post focuses on introducing an active-passive approach using a snapshot and restore strategy. The snapshot and restore strategy in OpenSearch Service involves creating point-in-time backups, known as snapshots, of your OpenSearch domain. These snapshots capture the entire state of the domain, including indexes, mappings, and settings. In the event of data loss or system failure, these snapshots will be used to restore the domain to a specific point in time. The post walks through the steps to set up this disaster recovery solution, including launching OpenSearch Service domains in primary and secondary regions, configuring snapshot repositories, restoring snapshots, and failing over/failing back between the regions.

Today, we’re announcing timelines for end of Standard Support and Extended Support for legacy Elasticsearch versions up to 6.7, Elasticsearch versions 7.1 through 7.8, OpenSearch versions from 1.0 through 1.2, and OpenSearch versions 2.3 through 2.9 available on Amazon OpenSearch Service.

In this post, we discuss how Volkswagen Autoeuropa used Amazon DataZone to build a data marketplace based on data mesh architecture to accelerate their digital transformation. The data mesh, built on Amazon DataZone, simplified data access, improved data quality, and established governance at scale to power analytics, reporting, AI, and machine learning (ML) use cases. As a result, the data solution offers benefits such as faster access to data, expeditious decision making, accelerated time to value for use cases, and enhanced data governance.

Amazon DataZone recently announced the expansion of data analysis and visualization options for your project-subscribed data within Amazon DataZone using the Amazon Athena JDBC driver. In this post, you learn how the recent enhancements in Amazon DataZone facilitate a seamless connection with Tableau. By integrating Tableau with the comprehensive data governance capabilities of Amazon DataZone, we’re empowering data consumers to quickly and seamlessly explore and analyze their governed data.

This is the final part of a three-part series where we show how to build a data lake on AWS using a modern data architecture. This post shows how to process data with Amazon Redshift Spectrum and create the gold (consumption) layer.

This is part two of a three-part series where we show how to build a data lake on AWS using a modern data architecture. This post shows how to load data from a legacy database (SQL Server) into a transactional data lake (Apache Iceberg) using AWS Glue. We show how to build data pipelines using AWS Glue jobs, optimize them for both cost and performance, and implement schema evolution to automate manual tasks. To review the first part of the series, where we load SQL Server data into Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS), see Modernize your legacy databases with AWS data lakes, Part 1: Migrate SQL Server using AWS DMS.

Amazon Redshift is a fast, scalable, secure, and fully managed cloud data warehouse that makes it simple and cost-effective to analyze your data using standard SQL and your existing business intelligence (BI) tools. Tens of thousands of customers today rely on Amazon Redshift to analyze exabytes of data and run complex analytical queries, making it […]

Today, we are announcing dedicated coordinator nodes for Amazon OpenSearch Service domains deployed on managed clusters. When you use Amazon OpenSearch Service to create OpenSearch domains, the data nodes serve dual roles of coordinating data-related requests like indexing requests, and search requests, and of doing the work of processing the requests – indexing documents and […]

This post explores how BMW implemented AWS Lake Formation’s fine-grained access control (FGAC) in the Cloud Data Hub and how this saves them up to 25% on compute and storage costs. By using AWS Lake Formation fine-grained access control capabilities, BMW has transparently implemented finer data access management within the Cloud Data Hub. The integration of Lake Formation has enabled data stewards to scope and grant granular access to specific subsets of data, reducing costly data duplication.

In this post, we guide you through deploying a comprehensive solution in your Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment to analyze Amazon EMR on EC2 cluster usage. By using this solution, you will gain a deep understanding of resource consumption and associated costs of individual applications running on your EMR cluster.
