This post provides guidance on deploying QuickSight in a multi-tenant environment, and the considerations around data isolation and deploying resources to tenants in a QuickSight application. Multi-tenancy within applications provides a mechanism to segment groups of users from one another.

Users within different tenants can’t see other users, data, and assets, while reducing the complexity of having a different infrastructure for each set of users.

Amazon QuickSight is a business intelligence (BI) solution that any organization can leverage to share data and insights to anyone in the organization. As a serverless BI tool, it offers a comprehensive set of advanced analytics features, and one core benefit is that pricing is consumption based. That being said, Quicksight can be leveraged for different use cases and each variant might require a different method to track and report on the cost of running QuickSight. In this post, we explore how you can use AWS CUR and AWS tags to monitor how specific users are using QuickSight. We also discuss how these tags can help organizations implement cloud cost controls by providing the data needed to support custom chargeback reporting.

In this post, we show how to use AWS CloudFormation to deploy all the necessary resources to automate the retry of the ingestion of a failed dataset refresh. This can help speed up the time to have the data available to the users by either completing the refresh successfully or providing more information on the cause of the failure to the dataset owner. Additionally, QuickSight assets can be monitored using Amazon CloudWatch metrics. QuickSight developers and administrators can use these metrics to observe and respond to the availability and performance of their QuickSight ecosystem in near-real time.
