AWS Analytics and Workday Data Cloud Integration

AWS has introduced a new bi-directional, zero-copy integration between AWS Analytics services and Workday Data Cloud. This allows joint customers to query across their AWS and Workday datasets without moving or copying data, while maintaining existing security controls.

You can use services like Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, Amazon EMR, AWS Glue, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Athena to query Workday data. Configure a connection in the respective console and start querying immediately. Access is governed by AWS and Workday permissions.

What to do

  • Configure a connection in SageMaker Unified Studio, AWS Glue, or AWS Lake Formation consoles.
  • Begin querying Workday data through Workday Live Data Query or federate to Apache Iceberg tables.
  • Register your AWS Glue Data Catalog Iceberg REST endpoint as an external catalog in Workday Analytics.
