Exploring the public AWS COVID-19 data lake

This post walks you through accessing the AWS COVID-19 data lake through the AWS Glue Data Catalog via Amazon SageMaker or Jupyter and using the open-source AWS Data Wrangler library. AWS Data Wrangler is an open-source Python package that extends the power of Pandas library to AWS and connects DataFrames and AWS data-related services (such as Amazon Redshift, Amazon S3, AWS Glue, Amazon Athena, and Amazon EMR). For more information about what you can build by using this data lake, see the associated public Jupyter notebook on GitHub.

Provisioning the Intuit Data Lake with Amazon EMR, Amazon SageMaker, and AWS Service Catalog

This post outlines the approach taken by Intuit, though it is important to remember that there are many ways to build a data lake (for example, AWS Lake Formation). We’ll cover the technologies and processes involved in creating the Intuit Data Lake at a high level, including the overall structure and the automation used in provisioning accounts and resources. Watch this space in the future for more detailed blog posts on specific aspects of the system, from the other teams and engineers who worked together to build the Intuit Data Lake.

Analyze data in Amazon DynamoDB using Amazon SageMaker for real-time prediction
