AWS Data Exchange for Data Providers

Easily reach millions of customers with your data in the cloud.

OVERVIEW | BENEFITS | HOW IT WORKS | CUSTOMERS | RESOURCES

AWS Data Exchange gives you a secure and efficient distribution channel to reach millions of AWS customers with your data. It eliminates the need to build and maintain infrastructure for data storage, delivery, billing, and entitling. In addition to reaching new customers, you can grant entitlements to your existing customers for no cost. AWS Data Exchange gives you a single API that enables both new and existing customers to consume your data in the AWS Cloud.

Benefits

Easily package and publish data products

Within minutes, you can package and publish data sets inside free or paid products for the price and terms that you control, and customers are billed via their AWS invoice. The AWS Data Exchange API allows you to publish new revisions of your data according to your own schedule and automatically notifies your customers every time you do so. This means you no longer have to maintain your own data storage, delivery, entitlement, or billing infrastructure.

Reach millions of AWS customers

Your published data products will be available for customers to find, subscribe to, and integrate into the data lakes, applications, analytics, and machine learning (ML) they’re running on AWS. You can use AWS Data Exchange data packaging and delivery capabilities across all your customers at a fraction of what it would cost to build yourself. You can also create private offers with custom terms targeting specific AWS customers or grant entitlements to your existing customers for no cost.

Built-in security and compliance controls

AWS Data Exchange provides end-to-end encryption by securing all data in transit and at rest. You also have an option to enable subscription verification on any product, which will require prospective subscribers to fill out a subscription request form including their identity and intended use-case details. For these products, you will have up to 45 days to either approve or decline the subscription request. For more information, see Subscription verification for providers.

How it works

Building and publishing data products

Data in AWS Data Exchange is organized using three building blocks: data sets, revisions, and assets. A data set is a container for data that belongs together (for example, end of day pricing for equities trading in the US). Data sets contain a series of revisions, which data providers publish as needed to make new assets available. Revisions can represent changes or new data (for example, today’s end of day prices); corrections to previous revisions; or entirely new snapshots. Assets are any file that can be stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) (for example, CSV, Parquet, or image files). For more information about working with data, see Data in AWS Data Exchange. Using these building blocks, you can organize the data hierarchically to build complex data models or as single data files.

Data sets are made available to subscribers inside of a product. A product is a collection of one or more data sets, metadata that makes the product discoverable in AWS Marketplace, pricing, and a Data Subscription Agreement that your customers must agree to before subscribing.
