When data is shared on AWS, anyone can analyze it and build services on top of it using a broad range of compute and data analytics products, including Amazon EC2, Amazon Athena, AWS Lambda, and Amazon EMR. Sharing data in the cloud lets data users spend more time on data analysis rather than data acquisition.

The Registry of Open Data on AWS makes it easy to find datasets made publicly available through AWS services. Browse available data and learn how to register your own datasets.
