AWS launches DataZone, a new ML-based data management service • TechCrunch

At its re:Invent conference, AWS today announced Amazon DataZone, a new data management service that can help enterprises catalog, discover, share and -- most importantly -- govern their data. The nifty part here is that AWS is using machine learning to help businesses build these data catalogs and generate the metadata to make it searchable. "To unlock the full power, the full value of data, we need to make it easy for the right people and applications to find, access and share the right data when they need it -- and to keep data safe and secure," AWS CEO Adam Selipsky said in today's keynote. The tool will provide users with fine-grained controls to manage and govern this data. That's long been a major problem for enterprises, but it has only gotten harder as the amount of data has increased, ensuring that the right users have access to the right data, without compromising personally identifiable information, for example.
