Amazon Redshift Spectrum is a feature of Amazon Redshift that expands analytics to data saved in your Amazon S3 data lake, excluding the need of loading or transforming data. You can easily set up, automates majority of your administrative activities, and gives quick performance at any scale. Amazon Redshift Spectrum helps open data formats, like Parquet, ORC, JSON, and CSV. Further it also assists querying nested data with complex data types like struct, array, or map. You can query data over Redshift and Amazon S3 to get specific insights which are not feasible to get by querying independent datasets. You can execute analytic queries against petabytes of data saved locally in Redshift, and straight against exabytes of data saved in Amazon S3. Now this Amazon Redshift Spectrum feature is available in 5 more AWS Regions – EU (Paris, Stockholm), Middle East (Bahrain), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), and the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region.
