Starting today, HAQM QuickSight customers can leverage HAQM Redshift Spectrum to visualize and analyze vast amounts of unstructured data in their HAQM S3 “data lake” – without having to load or transform any data. In addition, customers can now visualize combined data sets that include frequently accessed data stored in HAQM Redshift and bulk data sets stored cost-effectively in HAQM S3 using the same SQL syntax of HAQM Redshift.
HAQM Redshift Spectrum enables you to run HAQM Redshift SQL queries against exabytes of data in HAQM S3. Redshift Spectrum applies sophisticated query optimization, scaling processing across thousands of nodes so results are fast – even with large data sets and complex queries.
This feature is now available in the following QuickSight regions - US East (N. Virginia and Ohio) and US West (Oregon).
