Amazon Redshift announces generally availability for data sharing with data lake tables

By

Amazon Redshift’s Data Sharing of data lake tables is now generally available, offering a secure and convenient way to share live data lake tables across different Amazon Redshift warehouses. Data Sharing of data lake tables in the AWS Glue Data Catalog provides live access to the data, ensuring that you always see the most up-to-date and consistent information as it is updated in the data lake.

Today you can use Amazon Redshift to query your data lake but you cannot leverage the power of Redshift or Lake Formation managed data sharing with external schemas referencing your data lake tables. You have redundant effort to setup your data lake tables for each Redshift warehouse which increases your administration overhead. Now with Redshift and Lake Formation managed Data Sharing of data lake tables, you can right size the data sharing consumer compute while maintaining seamless access to the data lake tables without needing to recreate any table or view definitions. You can use SQL or the Redshift console to securely share data at various levels, including, tables and views.

Data Sharing of data lake tables in the AWS Glue Data Catalog is available in all regions where Redshift Serverless and Provisioned RA3 node types are available. Learn more about Data Sharing capability in Redshift feature page , refer to Redshift documentation and refer to the Lake Formation documentation .

Amazon Connect Contact Lens dashboards now support additional customization capabilities

By

Amazon Connect Contact Lens dashboards now include the ability to color code metric performance, customize service level thresholds, and switch metrics within widgets. With these dashboards, you can view and compare real-time and historical aggregated performance, trends, and insights using custom-defined time periods (e.g., week over week), summary charts, time-series chart, etc. You can further customize the dashboards by changing the metrics you want to monitor, as well as color code metric performance based on custom defined thresholds. For example, you can automatically show service level as red if it dips below 70%, yellow if its between 70-90%, and green if its greater than 90% to give a quick visual indicator on how service level is performing.

This feature is available in all commercial AWS regions where Amazon Connect is offered. To learn more about dashboards, see the Amazon Connect Administrator Guide . To learn more about Amazon Connect, the AWS cloud-based contact center, please visit the Amazon Connect website .
