From InfoWorld: Amazon Web Services is looking to make it easier, and more efficient, for enterprises to analyze their data in the cloud.
“Eighty percent of what we call analytics is not analytics at all but just hard work,” said Werner Vogels, chief technology officer at Amazon.com, speaking during a keynote speech this morning at the AWS re:Invent cloud conference in Las Vegas.
Instead of digging down into a company’s data to find patterns and insights that will give an enterprise a competitive advantage, too much time is spent on indexing, storage, security, and making sure the right access is set up.
To help AWS cloud customers with that analysis workload, the company today unveiled AWS Glue .
The new service is designed to be a fully managed data catalog and ETL (extract, transform, load) system. It’s all designed to make it easy to move data between numerous databases, apps, and systems, while also making it easier and faster to handle data discovery, mapping, and job scheduling tasks.
AWS Glue has not been released and Amazon would not put a release date on it, with its website saying only that it’s “coming soon.”
