# Integration with Amazon Redshift[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/dss-and-aws/dss-and-redshift/introduction.html#integration-with-amazon-redshift "Permalink to this headline")

Amazon Redshift is one of the analytical databases DSS can easily work with. This article shows how to integrate these 2 technologies.

Loading data into Redshift with DSS is as simple as:

* create your connection to Redshift and S3

* load your dataset into S3 with the proper format and in the same zone as your Redshift instance

* load your data from S3 to Redshift using a “Sync” operator

That’s it. DSS will take care of the plumbing for you and let you focus on analyzing your data.

The rest of the course provides a hands-on exercise.

## Technical Requirements[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/dss-and-aws/dss-and-redshift/introduction.html#technical-requirements "Permalink to this headline")

We assume here that you have access to a Redshift instance (otherwise see the docs on how to create one from your Amazon AWS console), and that you have access to a S3 bucket with the proper “write” privileges.
