AWS - Enhancing Data Governance & AI Innovation
The recent keynote at an AWS event delved deep into these realms, highlighting key strategies, promises, and innovations reshaping the digital world.
Data Governance: Empowering Customers with Control and Security
Data governance stands at the forefront of AWS's mission to empower customers with control over their data, ensuring its security and compliance with regulations. Several pillars uphold this commitment:
1. Localization of Data
AWS emphasizes the importance of data localization, enabling customers to choose the geographical location where their data resides, thus complying with regional regulations and addressing data residency concerns.
2. Control and Access of Data
Customers are granted granular control over access to their data, allowing them to define permissions and manage data access policies according to their specific requirements.
3. Resilience and Survivability
AWS ensures data resilience and survivability through robust infrastructure and redundancy measures, guaranteeing uninterrupted access to data even in the face of disruptions or disasters.
4. Operational Governance
Operational governance empowers customers with the autonomy to manage and govern their data operations independently, free from external dependencies.
5. Promises of Data Governance to Customers
In line with its commitment to data governance, AWS extends the following promises to its customers:
