Amazon DataZone launches enhancements to Amazon Redshift integration

Amazon DataZone is used by customers to catalog, discover, analyze, share, and govern data at scale across organizational boundaries with governance and access controls. Today, Amazon DataZone has introduced several enhancements to its Amazon Redshift integration, simplifying the process of publishing and subscribing to Amazon Redshift tables and views. These updates streamline the experience for both data producers and consumers, allowing them to quickly create data warehouse environments using pre-configured credentials and connection parameters provided by their DataZone administrators. Additionally, these enhancements grant administrators greater control over who can use the resources within their AWS accounts and Amazon Redshift clusters, and for what purpose. As an administrator, you can now create parameter sets on top of DefaultDataWarehouseBlueprint by providing parameters such as cluster, database, and an AWS Secret. You can use these parameter sets to create environment profiles, and authorize Amazon DataZone projects to use these environment profiles for creating environments. In turn, data producers and data consumers, can now select an environment profile to create environments without having to provide the parameters themselves. These enhancements to Amazon DataZone and Amazon Redshift integration are available in the following [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/): US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (London), and South America (São Paulo). You can read more about these new updates in the [user documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datazone/latest/userguide/enable-default-blueprint.html).
