What is a workspace?

A workspace is a data tenancy concept that allows you to maintain multiple data-isolated tenants within a single Amazon account. You can use workspaces to track usage, billing, resources, and datasets as they relate to your specific projects. You can identify resources, storage, and usage on a per-project basis and develop, version, and maintain per-project environments independently of one another, all within one Amazon account.

Creating your workspace

A workspace is your team's dedicated, isolated environment. Workspace Admins configure access control, environment isolation, and data governance policies.

To create a workspace, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Scenario Discovery console, choose Create Workspace.

  2. Enter a workspace name and optional description.

  3. Review and choose Create workspace.
