The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Open Data Sponsorship Program

Pietro Perona and Prem Natarajan of Amazon, and Leonard Kleinrock, Jayathi Murthy, Andrea Ghez, Jens Palsberg and Stefano Soatto of UCLA.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Open Data Sponsorship Program  makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on AWS. We work with data providers to:

  • Democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS
  • Develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data
  • Encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets

Through this program, customers are making more than 100 petabytes (PB) of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use. The full list of publicly available datasets is on the Registry of Open Data on AWS and these datasets are also discoverable on AWS Data Exchange.

This quarter, AWS released 34 new or updated datasets. What will you build with these datasets?
