Migrating petabytes of data across cloud providers is one of the most operationally demanding tasks an organization can take on. At this scale, simple transfer approaches break down. Teams lose track of what has been copied and what has failed. Transfers stall and require constant manual intervention to restart. In some cases, teams need to […]

Organizations across industries use signed URLs to grant temporary, credential-less access to private resources such as receipts, medical or financial records, legal files, or confidential reports. However, signed URLs can be reused by anyone until they expire, creating security risks if a URL is shared or inadvertently disclosed. This risk can be mitigated by vending […]

Organizations generate massive volumes of structured data from customer transactions, operational metrics, product catalogs, and compliance records. This data contains insights that can help businesses make better and timely decisions. Financial advisors need to review client transaction histories, retail analysts track inventory trends, and healthcare administrators monitor patient outcomes. Yet accessing these insights creates a […]

Since its launch in 2006, Amazon S3 has used a global namespace where bucket names must be unique across all AWS accounts and AWS Regions. This design has served customers well at scale, but organizations managing multiple accounts and environments often encounter naming collisions. When a bucket is deleted, its name returns to the global […]

Managing data access across multiple layers of permissions is a common industry challenge. Changes to AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) policies, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket configurations, AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key policies, or Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) endpoint policies can unintentionally cause access issues. When these […]

Organizations processing large-scale data for analytics, machine learning (ML), and business intelligence face a persistent challenge: how to access and read massive datasets quickly and cost-effectively. As data volumes grow exponentially, the performance of data access patterns becomes more critical. Inefficient read operations can lead to longer processing times, higher compute costs, and delayed insights, […]

Every day, organizations expand into new markets, migrate critical workloads across geographies, and build systems that need to operate reliably in multiple locations. At the root of these efforts is a simple question: “What can I deploy, and where?” The answer shapes important architecture decisions, from which AWS Regions to expand into, to how you […]

I’ve been working with data storage technologies for more than 20 years. Over that time, storage technologies have matured to keep up with exponential data growth. Solid state storage replaced spinning disk for the most critical workloads. Drive capacities grew from tens of gigabytes to tens of terabytes. On March 14, 2006, in the middle […]

Organizations are rapidly adopting Apache Iceberg for their data lakes because it supports petabyte-scale growth and performance with the flexibility to evolve schemas and partitions without costly rewrites. Its architecture enables modern data lake management via features like time travel and incremental processing. However, managing Iceberg datasets efficiently can become a challenge over time as […]
