Summary
Congratulations on completing this chapter! In this chapter, we introduced Amazon QuickSight and we defined its main concepts and its terminology. We explored the differences between the different QuickSight editions and we looked closely at the options during account creation. We also looked at networking and storage concepts and we discussed the different user roles: admin, author, and reader. In the last part of this chapter, you had a step-by-step guide on how to create a QuickSight account and how to invite your first users. We addressed some of the key topics that are essential to understand when working with QuickSight. We will be using this knowledge throughout this book.
In the next chapter, we will use our QuickSight account and its author user to configure data sources and datasets.
