00:00:06,964 --> 00:00:10,089
- Alright so let's talk
about Amazon Redshift.

2
00:00:10,089 --> 00:00:14,256
Amazon Redshift is Amazon's
petabyte scale data warehouse.

3
00:00:16,824 --> 00:00:19,184
Just like RDS, it's fully managed.

4
00:00:19,184 --> 00:00:22,517
It is based on a fork of Postgres 8.0.2.

5
00:00:25,845 --> 00:00:28,892
Very much so as a result,
it is SQL compliant

6
00:00:28,892 --> 00:00:31,469
so you can connect to
your Redshift cluster

7
00:00:31,469 --> 00:00:34,389
with all of the drivers
that you're used to using.

8
00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:36,964
JDBC and ODBC drivers.

9
00:00:36,964 --> 00:00:41,102
And run SQL queries that you
have been running in Postgres.

10
00:00:41,102 --> 00:00:42,352
Now under the hood,

11
00:00:42,352 --> 00:00:44,895
Redshift is a clustered service

12
00:00:44,895 --> 00:00:47,131
so it makes use of multiple nodes.

13
00:00:47,131 --> 00:00:49,705
You get to choose how many nodes you want

14
00:00:49,705 --> 00:00:52,533
and based on those number of nodes

15
00:00:52,533 --> 00:00:55,806
will also determine the amount of storage

16
00:00:55,806 --> 00:00:57,910
that your cluster will receive.

17
00:00:57,910 --> 00:01:01,181
And Redshift uses some really
interesting technologies

18
00:01:01,181 --> 00:01:02,570
developed by Amazon

19
00:01:02,570 --> 00:01:06,737
to run these queries in
parallel across those nodes

20
00:01:07,710 --> 00:01:10,372
across very large data sets.

21
00:01:10,372 --> 00:01:14,372
So these are ideal for
OLAP and BI applications.

22
00:01:16,006 --> 00:01:20,852
Amazon Redshift fulfills
a really interesting place

23
00:01:20,852 --> 00:01:22,504
within Amazon Web Services

24
00:01:22,504 --> 00:01:25,708
providing analytics and
business intelligence

25
00:01:25,708 --> 00:01:28,452
at a vast amount of scale.

26
00:01:28,452 --> 00:01:32,012
So again, Amazon Redshift
fully managed, just like RDS,

27
00:01:32,012 --> 00:01:35,512
and it is a petabyte scale data warehouse.
