The Amazon Redshift Data API simplifies access to Amazon Redshift, providing better price-performance and throughput for data analytics at scale.
The support for single sign-on and trusted identity propagation in Amazon Redshift Data API enables building secure data visualization applications with role-based access control.
By using IAM Identity Center and trusted identity propagation, users can authenticate with corporate credentials and manage application-level access control efficiently.
The example scenario of a global sports gear company illustrates restricting data access based on user roles and regions for data visualization.
Components like IAM Identity Center, Okta as an external IdP, Amazon Redshift Data API, and RBAC in Amazon Redshift power the data visualization application.
Streamlit is used to create a user-friendly interface for accessing and analyzing sales data securely based on user roles and permissions.
The solution architecture involves a workflow where users authenticate through Okta, obtain temporary IAM session credentials, and access Amazon Redshift for data.
The setup includes provisioning resources for IAM Identity Center, Amazon Redshift, and Okta, configuring Redshift RBAC for row-level security, and creating a Streamlit application.
Prerequisites include an AWS account, IAM Identity Center enabled, an external IdP like Okta set up, and a Python virtual environment for development.
The process involves creating user groups in Okta, setting up IAM Identity Center with Okta, creating and configuring Amazon Redshift IAM Identity Center connection application, and provisioning a Redshift Serverless workgroup.
