Redshift Module

View SourceRelease Notes

This module creates an Amazon Redshift cluster that you can use as a data warehouse. The cluster is managed by AWS and automatically handles leader nodes, worker nodes, backups, patching, and encryption.

About Redshift

Amazon Redshift is a fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud. Refer to the following resources to get more information:

Note: currently, this module does not support Amazon Redshift Serverless.

Serverless

Amazon Redshift Serverless makes it convenient for you to run and scale analytics without having to provision and manage data warehouses. Use the var.enable_serverless to enable serverless and the var.serverless_base_capacity to set teh base Redshift Processing Units (RPU) for serving queries.

Refer to the Amazon Redshift Serverless page for more information.

Note: it seems like the terraform destroy command is not working smoothly for Redshift serverless feature yet (hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#29962). Users would likely encounter error when trying to delete a workgroup associated with the Redshift serverless namespace. As a workaround, you can re-run the destroy command once the workspace gets deleted completely (e.g., after 30 mins).
