Overview of this book

Amazon Quicksight is an exciting new visualization that rivals PowerBI and Tableau, bringing several exciting features to the table – but sadly, there aren’t many resources out there that can help you learn the ropes. This book seeks to remedy that with the help of an AWS-certified expert who will help you leverage its full capabilities. After learning QuickSight’s fundamental concepts and how to configure data sources, you’ll be introduced to the main analysis-building functionality of QuickSight to develop visuals and dashboards, and explore how to develop and share interactive dashboards with parameters and on-screen controls. You’ll dive into advanced filtering options with URL actions before learning how to set up alerts and scheduled reports. Next, you’ll familiarize yourself with the types of insights before getting to grips with adding ML insights such as forecasting capabilities, analyzing time series data, adding narratives, and outlier detection to your dashboards. You’ll also explore patterns to automate operations and look closer into the API actions that allow us to control settings. Finally, you’ll learn advanced topics such as embedded dashboards and multitenancy. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with QuickSight’s BI and analytics functionalities that will help you create BI apps with ML capabilities.

Summary

Congratulations on completing this chapter! In this chapter, we introduced Amazon QuickSight and we defined its main concepts and its terminology. We explored the differences between the different QuickSight editions and we looked closely at the options during account creation. We also looked at networking and storage concepts and we discussed the different user roles: admin, author, and reader. In the last part of this chapter, you had a step-by-step guide on how to create a QuickSight account and how to invite your first users. We addressed some of the key topics that are essential to understand when working with QuickSight. We will be using this knowledge throughout this book.

In the next chapter, we will use our QuickSight account and its author user to configure data sources and datasets.
