In this post, we outline the steps to copy data between two indexes in the same OpenSearch Serverless collection using the new OpenSearch source feature of OpenSearch Ingestion. This is particularly useful for reindexing operations where you want to change your data schema. OpenSearch Serverless and OpenSearch Ingestion are both serverless services that enable you to seamlessly handle your data workflows, providing optimal performance and scalability.

Amazon Managed Streaming for Kafka (Amazon MSK) is a fully managed service that enables you to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka to process streaming data.

In this series, we talk about Swisscom’s journey of automating Amazon Redshift provisioning as part of the Swisscom One Data Platform (ODP) solution using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK), and we provide code snippets and the other useful references. In Part 1, we did a deep dive on provisioning a secure and compliant […]

In this post, we deep dive into provisioning a secure and compliant Redshift cluster using the AWS CDK and discuss the best practices of secret rotation. We also explain how Swisscom used AWS CDK custom resources in automating the creation of dynamic user groups that are relevant for the AWS Identity and Access management (IAM) roles matching different job functions.
