Getting started with read-only data sharing with the SQL interface - Amazon Redshift
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the blog post that was published on June 30, 2025.

Getting started with read-only data sharing with the SQL interface

With Amazon Redshift, you can securely share data across Amazon Redshift clusters, enabling data consumers to query and access live data without copying or replicating it. Data sharing lets you create and configure datashares, which are producer-side objects that reference the database objects you want to share.

You can share data for read purposes across different Amazon Redshift clusters within or across Amazon Web Services accounts, or across Amazon Web Services Regions.
