We are pleased to announce that the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) can now extract data from Teradata and Oracle data warehouses for direct import into Amazon Redshift. Amazon Redshift is a fast, fully managed, petabyte scale data warehouse that was designed for the cloud from the ground up. AWS SCT will run an analysis of your data warehouse, automate the schema conversion, apply the schema to the Amazon Redshift target and extract your warehouse data, regardless of volume. You can use Amazon S3 or Amazon Snowball to move your exports to the cloud, where Amazon Redshift can natively import the data for use.

AWS Marketplace Metering Service is now available in the US East (Ohio), Canada (Central), and EU (London) regions. AWS Marketplace Metering Service enables customers to purchase software from select AWS Marketplace vendors that price by the usage within an Amazon Machine Image (AMI), rather than a flat hourly, monthly, or annual fee for running the AMI. These pricing dimensions better enable customers to pay for only what they need when running software projects. As with other AWS Marketplace products, usage is aggregated at the end of the month, along with other AWS products, and charged as part of an existing AWS bill.
