General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an important aspect of today’s technology world, and processing data in compliance with GDPR is a necessity for those who implement solutions within the AWS public cloud. One article of GDPR is the “right to erasure” or “right to be forgotten” which may require you to implement a solution […]

Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), a global automotive manufacturer, has made “connected cars” a core priority as part of its broader transformation from an auto company to a mobility company. In recent years, TMC and its affiliate technology and big data company, Toyota Connected, have developed an array of new technologies to provide connected services that […]

Most organizations have to comply with regulations when dealing with their customer data. For that reason, datasets that contain personally identifiable information (PII) is often anonymized. A common example of PII can be tables and columns that contain personal information about an individual (such as first name and last name) or tables with columns that, if joined with another table, can trace back to an individual. You can use AWS Analytics services to anonymize your datasets. In this post, I describe how to use Amazon Athena to anonymize a dataset.  You can then use AWS Lake Formation to provide the right access to the right personas.

This is a guest post by Sara Miller, Head of Data Management and Data Lake, Direct Energy; and Zhouyi Liu, Senior AWS Developer, Direct Energy. Enterprise companies like Direct Energy migrate on-premises data warehouses and services to AWS to achieve fully manageable digital transformation of their organization. Freedom from traditional data warehouse constraints frees up […]

Amazon QuickSight is a fast, cloud-powered, business intelligence service that makes it easy to deliver insights and integrates seamlessly with your data lake built on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). QuickSight users in your organization often need access to only a subset of columns for compliance and security reasons. Without having a proper solution […]

This post walks you through accessing the AWS COVID-19 data lake through the AWS Glue Data Catalog via Amazon SageMaker or Jupyter and using the open-source AWS Data Wrangler library. AWS Data Wrangler is an open-source Python package that extends the power of Pandas library to AWS and connects DataFrames and AWS data-related services (such as Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3, AWS Glue, Amazon Athena, and Amazon EMR). For more information about what you can build by using this data lake, see the associated public Jupyter notebook on GitHub.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to threaten and take lives around the world, we must work together across organizations and scientific disciplines to fight this disease.
