Today, we are announcing two new AWS Clean Rooms capabilities to help business and technical users collaborate more easily and at scale. Analysis Builder is a guided UI that helps business users to generate insights without writing any code. Business users can use analysis builder to create and edit queries in their AWS Clean Rooms collaboration, and specify their desired metrics, segments, and filters to get insights in a few steps. AWS Clean Rooms customers can also now use AWS CloudFormation templates to create, update, and delete their collaborations, as well as manage resources such as Configured Tables and Table associations. With support for CloudFormation templates, customers can more easily scale their collaborations for additional partners and use cases.

AWS Partners now have deeper insights into their Amazon Web Services (AWS) business through AWS Partner Analytics Dashboard , accessible from AWS Partner Central.

Screen recording is Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) compliant and in scope for System Organization Controls (SOC 1 and SOC 2).
