Data sharing using AWS Data Exchange for monetization and subscribing to third-party data
AWS Data Exchange enables secure data sharing of Amazon Redshift data through its integration with Redshift data shares. Organizations can publish their Redshift data as licensed data products, which subscribers can directly query from their own Redshift clusters without copying or moving the underlying data. To share data, providers first create a data share in their Redshift cluster using the CREATE DATASHARE command, add specific schemas, tables, or views, and then publish it as a data product on AWS Data Exchange. Publishers can choose to publicly or privately share products. Subscribers can discover these data products through the AWS Data Exchange catalog, and once subscribed, the data appears as a database in their Redshift cluster through the use of a managed AWS Data Exchange data share. This streamlines data monetization and consumption while maintaining security.
