There are various ways to report on data insights, and paginated reports is one of them. Paginated reports are essential documents that contain critical business information for end-users. For decades, paginated reports have been the standard business reporting format. The following are examples of paginated reports. On the left shows the report for income statement and on the right is the yearly summary corporate statement: As the example shows, paginated reports contain various highly formatted insights and are designed to be printable, in landscape or portrait orientation, so they can be consumed easily by readers. It’s called paginated because it often spans tens of hundreds of pages of data. Although it may appear to be a simple task, generating paginated…

New Amazon QuickSight API Capabilities to Accelerate Your BI Transformation
Regular readers of this blog, and AWS customers alike, know the benefits of infrastructure as code (IaC). It allows you to describe your infrastructure using a programming language to consistently deploy your infrastructure to multiple environments or AWS Regions. Other benefits are the possibility to version-control your infrastructure using the same development tools and workflow you use to manage your application source code. IaC also offers the ability to programmatically validate part of the infrastructure before it is deployed. Today, we are expanding the capabilities of QuickSight APIs to allow programmatic creation and management of dashboards, analysis, and templates. These capabilities allow BI teams to manage their BI assets as code, similar to IaC. It brings greater agility to BI…
New – ENA Express: Improved Network Latency and Per-Flow Performance on EC2
We know that you can always make great use of all available network bandwidth and network performance, and have done our best to supply it to you. Over the years, network bandwidth has grown from the 250 Mbps on the original m1 instance to 200 Gbps on the newest m6in instances. In addition to raw bandwidth, we have also introduced advanced networking features including Enhanced Networking, Elastic Network Adapters (ENAs), and (for tightly coupled HPC workloads) Elastic Fabric Adapters (EFAs). Introducing ENA Express Today we are launching ENA Express. Building on the Scalable Reliable Datagram (SRD) protocol that already powers Elastic Fabric Adapters, ENA Express reduces P99 latency of traffic flows by up to 50% and P99.9 latency by up…
New General Purpose, Compute Optimized, and Memory-Optimized Amazon EC2 Instances with Higher Packet-Processing Performance
Today I would like to tell you about the next generation of Intel-powered general purpose, compute-optimized, and memory-optimized instances. All three of these instance families are powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake) running at 3.5 GHz, and are designed to support your data-intensive workloads with up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth, the highest EBS performance in EC2 (up to 80 Gbps of bandwidth and up to 350,000 IOPS), and the ability to handle up to twice as many packets per second (PPS) as earlier instances. New General Purpose (M6in/M6idn) Instances The original general purpose EC2 instance (m1.small) was launched in 2006 and was the one and only instance type for a little over a year,…
