AWS Clean Rooms
aws.amazon.com
What it is
AWS Clean Rooms lets companies analyze collective datasets without exchanging or copying the underlying data. Multiple companies can contribute to one collaboration while retaining data in their own accounts. Customers can permission AWS data and work with partner datasets in Snowflake and AWS through zero-ETL. Analysis supports SQL, Spark SQL, PySpark and machine learning. AWS lists advertising insights, investment decisions, research and development, customer insights and reporting as use cases. Privacy controls include fine-grained analysis rules, differential privacy, cryptographic computing, output restrictions and query logging. Clean Rooms ML supports custom and lookalike modeling; custom modeling allows collaborators to bring a model for training and inference without sharing underlying data or intellectual property. Access is available through the console, API, SDKs and command line. AWS lists availability in 11 Regions. Pricing is pay-as-you-go by capability and Region, with stated minimum charges for Spark SQL and PySpark. No free plan is available.
