Elastic resize

Elastic resize is the fastest method to resize a cluster. Elastic resize adds or removes nodes on an existing cluster, then automatically redistributes the data to the new nodes.

You can also migrate an unencrypted cluster to an encrypted cluster by modifying the cluster.

March 6, 2018

IAM Role Chaining If an IAM role attached to your cluster doesn't have access to the necessary resources, you can chain another role, possibly belonging to another account. Your cluster then temporarily assumes the chained role to access the data. You can also grant cross-account access by chaining roles. Each role in the chain assumes the next role in the chain, until the cluster assumes the role at the end of chain. You can chain a maximum of 10 roles. For more information, see Chaining IAM roles in Amazon Redshift. February 23, 2018
New DC2 node types The new generation of dense compute (DC) node types offer much better performance at the same price as DC1. To take advantage of performance improvements, you can migrate your DC1 cluster to the newer DC2 node types. For more information, see Clusters and nodes in Amazon Redshift. October 17, 2017
ACM certificates Amazon Redshift is replacing the SSL certificates on your clusters with Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM) issued certificates. ACM is a trusted public certificate authority (CA) that is trusted by most current systems. You might need to update your current trust root CA certificates to continue to connect to your clusters using SSL. For more information, see Transitioning to ACM certificates for SSL connections. September 18, 2017
Service-linked roles A service-linked role is a unique type of IAM role that is linked directly to Amazon Redshift. Service-linked roles are predefined by Amazon Redshift and include all the permissions that the service requires to call Amazon services on behalf of your Amazon Redshift cluster. For more information, see Using service-linked roles for Amazon Redshift. September 18, 2017
IAM database user authentication You can configure your system to permit users to create user credentials and log on to the database based on their IAM credentials. You can also configure your system to let users sign on using federated single sign-on through a SAML 2.0-compliant identity provider. For more information, see Using IAM authentication to generate database user credentials. August 11, 2017
Table-level restore supports enhanced VPC routing Table-level restore is now supported on clusters that use Controlling network traffic with enhanced VPC routing. For more information, see Restoring a table from a snapshot. July 19, 2017
Query monitoring rules Using WLM query monitoring rules, you can define metrics-based performance boundaries for WLM queues and specify what action to take when a query goes beyond those boundaries—log, hop, or abort. You define query monitoring rules as part of your workload management (WLM) configuration. For more information, see Workload management. April 21, 2017

Enhanced VPC routing

When you use Amazon Redshift enhanced VPC routing, Amazon Redshift forces all COPY and UNLOAD traffic between your cluster and your data repositories through your Amazon VPC. For more information, see Controlling network traffic with Redshift enhanced VPC routing.

September 15, 2016

New connection log fields The Connection log audit log has two new fields to track SSL connections. If you routinely load audit logs to an Amazon Redshift table, you will need to add the following new columns to the target table: sslcompression and sslexpansion. May 5, 2016

IAM roles for COPY and UNLOAD

You can now specify one or more Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles that your cluster can use for authentication to access other Amazon services. IAM roles provide a more secure alternative to provide authentication with COPY, UNLOAD, or CREATE LIBRARY commands. For more information, see Authorizing Amazon Redshift to access Amazon services on your behalf and Authorizing COPY, UNLOAD, CREATE EXTERNAL FUNCTION, and CREATE EXTERNAL SCHEMA operations using IAM roles. March 29, 2016
Restore from table

You can restore a table from a cluster snapshot to a new table in an active cluster. For more information, see Restoring a table from a snapshot.

March 10, 2016

Using IAM Condition in policies

You can further restrict access to resources by using the Condition element in IAM policies. For more information, see Using IAM policy conditions for fine-grained access control.

December 10, 2015
