Welcome in this section, we're going to be talking about using Redshift.

Redshift in our steps for success is going to be the first


service in our data analysis section.
This is probably the first place where we can perform some large scale
data analysis and start to produce some output for our data
interpretation step. So what is Redshift?
Redshift is a data warehousing service.
It can warehouse data at the petabyte scale,
which means that we can store a huge amount of data in Redshift in a way that
it's still queryable and that's really the power of Redshift and it's not just
that it can store petabytes of data.
It can index and query that data as well. So that data remains usable.
We can store petabytes and exabytes of data in S3,
but we'd have limited ability to actually do any data analysis on it.
So when we talk about what we use a data warehouse for,
we are going to collect catalog and query data.
So if we look at Redshift here and we have an application
architecture,
and we'll talk about what all of these services are later in the section.
All of these services are going to emit data.
So just the simple example we're already collecting what could be a
huge amount of data,
depending on how heavily used our application is and we can
collect all of the data artifacts that come off of the services in Redshift and
perform analysis on our application.
We can perform analysis on the operation, the performance,
the general usage, everything about our application we can collect in Redshift,
and then we would be able to write queries to perform analysis
of that data.
Redshift is one of the core services for this exam and so we're going
to be spending quite a bit of time with it. The section is mostly theoretical,
but not to worry. We will get hands-on with Redshift a little later on.
So when you're ready, please join me in this section.
