Overview

Amazon Redshift is a fast, scalable, and secure fully managed data warehouse service in the cloud, serving as a primary data store for vast datasets and analytic workloads. Amazon Web Services (AWS) enables businesses to analyze their data using standard SQL and existing business intelligence tools, promoting insightful decision-making and integration with various AWS services.

Through this integration, Apono helps you securely manage access to your Amazon Redshift instance.
