How to install Google Data Studio on AWS

Google Data Studio is a free tool from Google that allows data analysts to create beautiful dashboards using their data. The tool has become very popular over the last couple of years because it makes creating interactive charts and graphs much more accessible.

Data analytics is becoming more important every day. Businesses must collect, analyze, and act upon information to improve customer experience and increase revenue. They need to access and visualize large amounts of data to accomplish these goals.

AWS offers several services that allow businesses to store data and run queries against it. One such service is Amazon Athena. This service provides SQL query capabilities and supports structured and unstructured data sources.

What is AWS Glue Studio?

AWS Glue Studio is an easy way to visualize and run ETL jobs. You can use AWS Glue Studio to quickly build pipelines to import data from different sources into one or many destinations. AWS Glue Studio makes creating, running and monitoring ETL jobs simple.

You can use AWS Glue to connect to databases such as Amazon Redshift, Amazon Athena, and Amazon S3. You can also connect to data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES), and Amazon DynamoDB tables. AWS Glue Studio lets you work with data in tabular format and semi-structured formats such as JSON and XML.

With AWS Glue Studio, you can easily create a pipeline to load information from multiple sources into a single destination. You can even combine various transformations within a single job. For example, you can perform a join operation between data sets stored in Amazon S3 and Amazon Redshift.

Features of AWS Glue Studio

AWS Glue Studio is a free tool that helps you build data processing pipelines—ETL jobs—in the cloud without writing code. With AWS Glue Studio, you can quickly define transformations and load data into Amazon Redshift, Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, Amazon S3, and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and perform analytics against the data stored in those destinations. You can use AWS Glue Studio to connect to multiple databases simultaneously, including Oracle Database, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Teradata.

You can now view the source code of your ETL job directly in the console. This makes it easier to debug and troubleshoot problems. You can execute your ETL job locally within the AWS Glue Studio console.

You can easily build complex ETL jobs using the graphical interface. For example, you can drag and drop tables and columns onto the canvas to specify how the data will be transformed. Once you define your transformation, you can preview the resulting table schema and see what data will be loaded into each destination.

The AWS Glue Studio console visualizes the data flowing through your ETL job. These visualizations make it easy to understand where data is coming from and where it is being sent. You can also compare different versions of your ETL job to identify changes in the underlying logic.

Connecting Google Data Studio with AWS RDS MySQL

This article describes how to connect Google Cloud SQL to AWS RDS MySQL using Google Data Studio.

The first step is to enable the Google Cloud SQL API on the RDS instance. Go to the RDS management console and set up access control to do so.

Next, download the Google Cloud SDK and configure it.

Finally, you must authenticate yourself to the Google Cloud SQL service.

Enable the Google Cloud SQL API

Go to the RDS management panel and click Security Groups.

Add a rule allowing TCP traffic from port 3306 to any IP address.

Save the changes.

Download the Google Cloud SDK

Install the latest version of the Google Cloud SDK.

Configure the Google Cloud SDK

Run the g cloud command line tool.

Authenticate yourself to the Google cloud SQL service

Create a credentials JSON file containing the information needed to connect to the Google Cloud SQL server.

Copy the contents of the credentials JSON file into a text editor.

Replace the placeholder values with the appropriate information.

For example, replace “service_account” with the name of your service account.

Replace “project_id” with the ID of your project.

Replace “private_key_file” with the path to your private key file.

Replace “client_email” with the email address used to register your service account.

Upload the credentials JSON file to an S3 bucket.

 

Create Reports from Amazon S3 Data in Google Data Studio

Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the largest cloud computing companies in the world, is now offering free storage space for developers. This makes it easier for people to store large amounts of data online without paying for additional storage space. Developers can use the free storage space to build applications such as dashboards, databases, and reporting tools.

Google Data Studio offers a way to visualize data stored in Amazon S3, making it possible to analyze data sets stored in the cloud. With the help of the CData Connect Server, you can easily import data into Google Data Studio from Amazon S3. You can even export data from Google Data Studio to Amazon S3.

The CData Connect Server allows you to connect to an AWS Account via API calls. Once connected, you can access the data stored in Amazon S 3. In addition, you can perform queries against the data set and create custom visualizations.

You can download the CData Connect Server here.

 

Connect to Amazon S3 from Connect Server

To connect to Amazon S3 from the Connect server, you must first test whether the connection between Google Cloud Storage and Amazon S3 works appropriately. If it does work, you can use it to store data in Amazon S3. You can also use it to retrieve data from Amazon S3. For example, you can use it as follows:

1. Create a virtual database called “mydb.”

2. Upload files into the virtual database.

3. Retrieve files from Amazon S3.

4. Delete files from the virtual database.

5. Stop the virtual database.

6. Disconnect from Amazon S3.

Visualize Live Amazon S3 Data in Google Data Studio

Amazon Web Services offers developers several tools to interact with its cloud storage system. One of those tools is called AWS Direct Connect. This tool allows developers to connect directly to Amazon’s servers without going through the public internet. Developers can download files stored on Amazon S3, upload files to S3, and even stream video or audio over the internet.

In addition to interacting with Amazon S3 via AWS Direct Connect, developers can also use it to visualize real-time data. For example, you could use it to monitor how often people access specific files on S3. You could also use it to track changes to files on S3.
