AWS and Workday Data Cloud Now Talk Directly—No ETL Headaches

AWS just dropped a zero-copy integration between its analytics stack and Workday Data Cloud, letting you query both datasets in place without building ETL pipelines or moving data around. You can use SageMaker Unified Studio, EMR, Glue, Redshift, and Athena to hit Workday data directly, while Workday users can query AWS Iceberg tables through their analytics console—perfect for talent analytics and ML workflows. The feature rolls out across all AWS commercial regions where Glue is available.
