Appendix

Connecting to an Amazon Redshift cluster using Python

Python is widely used for data analytics due to its simplicity and ease of use. In this recipe, we will use Python programming to connect using the Amazon Redshift Data API.

The Data API allows you to access Amazon Redshift without the need to use the JDBC or ODBC drivers. You can execute SQL commands on an Amazon Redshift cluster by invoking a secure API endpoint provided by the Data API. The Data API ensures that your SQL queries will be submitted asynchronously. You can now monitor the status of the query and retrieve your results later. The Data API is supported on all major programming languages, including Python, Go, Java, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, and C++, along with the AWS SDK.

Getting ready

To complete this recipe, you will need to do the following:

Create an IAM user with access to Amazon Redshift, Amazon Secrets Manager, and Amazon EC2.
Store the database credentials in Amazon Secrets Manager using Recipe...
