This blog post introduces Amazon DataZone and explores how VW used it to build their data mesh to enable streamlined data access across multiple data lakes. It focuses on the key aspect of the solution, which was enabling data providers to automatically publish data assets to Amazon DataZone, which served as the central data mesh for enhanced data discoverability. Additionally, the post provides code to guide you through the implementation.

This post demonstrates how to migrate nearly any amount of data from an on-premises Apache Hadoop environment to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) by using S3DistCp on Amazon EMR with AWS Direct Connect. To transfer resources from a target EMR cluster, the traditional Hadoop DistCp must be run on the source cluster to move […]

In this post, we show you how to get started with Apache XTable on AWS and how you can use it in a batch pipeline orchestrated with Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (Amazon MWAA). To understand how XTable and similar solutions work, we start with a high-level background on metadata management in an OTF and then dive deeper into XTable and its usage.

EchoStar, a connectivity company providing television entertainment, wireless communications, and award-winning technology to residential and business customers throughout the US, deployed the first standalone, cloud-native Open RAN 5G network on AWS public cloud. This post provides an overview of real-time data analysis with Amazon Redshift and how EchoStar uses it to ingest hundreds of megabytes per second. As data sources and volumes grew across its network, EchoStar migrated from a single Redshift Serverless workgroup to a multi-warehouse architecture with live data sharing.

Amazon Redshift is a fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud. You can start with just a few hundred gigabytes of data and scale to a petabyte or more. This enables you to use your data to acquire new insights for your business and customers. The objective of a disaster recovery plan is […]

In this post, we outline the steps to copy data between two indexes in the same OpenSearch Serverless collection using the new OpenSearch source feature of OpenSearch Ingestion. This is particularly useful for reindexing operations where you want to change your data schema. OpenSearch Serverless and OpenSearch Ingestion are both serverless services that enable you to seamlessly handle your data workflows, providing optimal performance and scalability.
