QuickSight Q now supports migration of Topics using APIs enabling authors to replicate topics from one account to another or to share topics with users across different namespaces. With this launch customers can use CI/CD pipelines and scripts to migrate topics from development accounts to test or production accounts without having to repetitively setup topics in new environments or accounts manually. Authors can easily migrate a Topic and replicate the metadata settings such as datasets used, fields, field names, synonyms and field settings. To access this feature in preview please contact quicksight-q-api-preview@amazon.com.
