Amazon Redshift is a fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud.

An Amazon Redshift data warehouse is a collection of computing resources called nodes. These nodes are organized into a group called a cluster and each cluster runs an Amazon Redshift engine and includes one or more databases.

Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.
