Amazon Redshift adds long-term system table retention with S3 Tables

This capability extends log retention beyond the previous 7-day limit, crucial for long-term compliance, auditing, and performance analysis without custom ETL pipelines. It supports RA3/RG provisioned clusters and Redshift Serverless, enabling analysis via Redshift, Athena, Glue, EMR, and other Iceberg-compatible engines. Log delivery is free, with costs only for S3 Tables storage and querying.
