Overview / Purpose

Notebook to create:

• IAM Roles

• Connect with the postgresql client from the notebook to the redshift cluster

Solution: Infrastructure as Code

1. Save the AWS Access key
2. Load DWH Params from a file
3. Create clients for IAM, EC2, S3, and Redshift
4. Check out the sample data sources on S3
5. Create an IAM ROLE
6. Create the Redshift Cluster
7. Describe the cluster to see its status
8. Take note of the cluster endpoint and role ARN
9. Open an incoming TCP port to access the cluster ednpoint
10. Make sure you can connect to the cluster
11. Clean up your resources to avoid reaching billing limits
