Amazon Redshift

What is Amazon Redshift

Amazon Redshift is a web-based data warehouse solution providing a collection of computing resources termed as nodes that are further organized into multiple groups known as clusters. One or more than one database is included in a particular cluster, which is running the Amazon Redshift engine. The software supports multiple open data formats like Avro, Amazon Ion, ORC, CSV, Grok and RCFile.

Analyze such data using Structured Query Language or pre-existing business intelligence tools. Such analysis helps secure the data both at rest and in transit The software makes sure that all data through AWS IAM, AWS KMS integration as well as AES-256 encryption along with SSL.

How can I optimize Amazon Redshift as per my data warehousing needs?

Amazon Redshift offers three different nodes to help end-users optimize their service as per the requirements of the data warehouse.

1. Dense Compute nodes: You can create high performing data warehouses using large RAMs, fast CPUs and SSDs (solid-state disks) for 500GB data or less.
2. RA3 nodes: The particular node allows you to scale storage without depending on compute. It also ensures that you get access to a high performing data warehouse that will store all the data within the segregated storage layers. You only have to adjust the size of the particular data warehouse as per the query performance of your individual business.
3. Dense Storage nodes: You can create large data warehouses with the help of hard disk drives.

Benefits of Amazon Redshift

1. Materialized Views: The materialized views offered by the software can be used for caching intermediate results for speeding up the slow running queries. Users can also achieve faster query performance related to analytical workloads like ELT data processing jobs, queries from BI tools and dashboarding. Moreover, Amazon Redshift continues to offer low latency performance benefits by managing the materialized views in an efficient manner.
2. Automated Provisioning: Amazon Redshift provisions infrastructure for its users in an automated manner by allowing end-users to deploy a new data warehouse in just a few simple clicks. Most of the administrative tasks including replication and backup are automated here. Further, you also get access to for easily configuring the workloads.
3. Audit and Compliance: Users can audit their Redshift API calls by integrating Amazon Redshift with AWS CloudTrail. All SQL operations like attempts, queries, connections and changes within data warehouse are recorded by Amazon Redshift. Additionally, the software is compliant with SOC-1,2 and 3 along with PCI DSS Level 1 requirements.
4. End-to-end encryption: Amazon Redshift uses SSL technology to secure the data in transit and AES-265 encryption to secure the data that is at rest.
