Back in 2019 I told you about AWS Data Exchange and showed you how to Find, Subscribe To, and Use Data Products. Today, you can choose from over 3600 data products in ten categories: In my introductory post I showed you how could subscribe to data products and then download the data sets into an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. I then suggested various options for further processing, including AWS Lambda functions, a AWS Glue crawler, or an Amazon Athena query. Today we are making it even easier for you to find, subscribe to, and use third-party data with the introduction of AWS Data Exchange for Amazon Redshift. As a subscriber, you can directly use data from providers…

VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts Brings VMware SDDC as a Fully Managed Service on Premises
In 2017, AWS and VMware brought VMware Cloud on AWS, the VMware enterprise-class Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) software for all vSphere-based workloads, to the AWS Cloud with optimized access to native AWS services. VMware Cloud on AWS provides dedicated, single-tenant cloud infrastructure, delivered on the next-generation bare-metal AWS infrastructure based on the latest Amazon EC2 storage optimized high I/O instances and featuring low-latency non-volatile memory express (NVMe) based SSDs. Some customers have certain workloads that will likely need to remain on premises, such as applications that are latency-sensitive, have to meet specific data residency to the requirement for data to be stored locally, and proceed local data to the need to run apps closer to where data resides or need…
AWS Cloud Control API, a Uniform API to Access AWS & Third-Party Services
Today, I am happy to announce the availability of AWS Cloud Control API a set of common application programming interfaces (APIs) that are designed to make it easy for developers to manage their AWS and third-party services. AWS delivers the broadest and deepest portfolio of cloud services. Builders leverage these to build any type of cloud infrastructure. It started with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) 15 years ago and grew over 200+ services. Each AWS service has a specific API with its own vocabulary, input parameters, and error reporting. For example, you use the S3 CreateBucket API to create an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket and the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) RunInstances API to create an…
Now — AWS Step Functions Supports 200 AWS Services To Enable Easier Workflow Automation
Today AWS Step Functions expands the number of supported AWS services from 17 to over 200 and AWS API Actions from 46 to over 9,000 with its new capability AWS SDK Service Integrations. When developers build distributed architectures, one of the patterns they use is the workflow-based orchestration pattern. This pattern is helpful for workflow automation inside a service to perform distributed transactions. An example of a distributed transaction is all the tasks required to handle an order and keep track of the transaction status at all times. Step Functions is a low-code visual workflow service used for workflow automation, to orchestrate services, and help you to apply this pattern. Developers use Step Functions with managed services such as Artificial…
