Amazon Redshift adds IAM Identity Center authentication with enhanced VPC routing
Amazon Redshift now supports AWS IAM Identity Center authentication for provisioned clusters and serverless workgroups configured with enhanced VPC routing (EVR). This integration enables single sign-on access using corporate credentials, ensuring all traffic remains within the AWS network via VPC. The capability is crucial for customers with strict data residency, regulatory, or network-isolation requirements. Authentication and authorization now utilize AWS PrivateLink interface VPC endpoints from inside the VPC, aligning with the governed network path for Redshift traffic.
