| [redshift](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/donnemartin/ipython-data-notebooks/blob/master/aws/aws.ipynb#redshift) | Acts as a fast data warehouse built on top of technology from massive parallel processing (MPP). |
| [kinesis](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/donnemartin/ipython-data-notebooks/blob/master/aws/aws.ipynb#kinesis) | Streams data in real time with the ability to process thousands of data streams per second. |
| [lambda](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/donnemartin/ipython-data-notebooks/blob/master/aws/aws.ipynb#lambda) | Runs code in response to events, automatically managing compute resources. |
