In this post, we introduce a new mechanism called Reindexing-from-Snapshot (RFS), and explain how it can address your concerns and simplify migrating to OpenSearch.

In this post, we demonstrate how to launch a high availability instance fleet cluster using the newly redesigned Amazon EMR console, as well as using an AWS CloudFormation template. We also go over the basic concepts of Hadoop high availability, EMR instance fleets, the benefits and trade-offs of high availability, and best practices for running resilient EMR clusters.

This second post of a two-part series that details how Volkswagen Autoeuropa, a Volkswagen Group plant, together with AWS, built a data solution with a robust governance framework using Amazon DataZone to become a data-driven factory. Part 1 of this series focused on the customer challenges, overall solution architecture and solution features, and how they helped Volkswagen Autoeuropa overcome their challenges. This post dives into the technical details, highlighting the robust data governance framework that enables ease of access to quality data using Amazon DataZone.

In this post, we discuss how Volkswagen Autoeuropa used Amazon DataZone to build a data marketplace based on data mesh architecture to accelerate their digital transformation. The data mesh, built on Amazon DataZone, simplified data access, improved data quality, and established governance at scale to power analytics, reporting, AI, and machine learning (ML) use cases. As a result, the data solution offers benefits such as faster access to data, expeditious decision making, accelerated time to value for use cases, and enhanced data governance.

In this post, we show how to migrate a data warehouse from Microsoft Azure Synapse to Redshift Serverless using AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) and AWS SCT data extraction agents. AWS SCT makes heterogeneous database migrations predictable by automatically converting the source database code and storage objects to a format compatible with the target database.
