Connect to Amazon Redshift

Let's configure the Amazon Redshift V2 connection properties to connect to Amazon Redshift.

Before you begin

Before you get started, you'll need to get information from your Amazon Redshift account based on the authentication type you want to configure.
Check out Prepare for authentication to learn about the authentication requirements before you configure a connection.

Connection details

The following table describes the basic connection properties:
Property
Description
Connection Name
Name of the connection. Each connection name must be unique within the organization. Connection names can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following special characters: _. + -, Maximum length is 255 characters.
Description
Description of the connection. Maximum length is 4000 characters.
Type
Amazon Redshift V2
Use Secret Vault
Stores sensitive credentials for this connection in the secrets manager that is configured for your organization.
This property appears only if secrets manager is set up for your organization.
This property is not supported by Data Ingestion and Replication.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials that the Secure Agent retrieves from the secrets manager. If you don't enable this option, the credentials are stored in the repository or on a local Secure Agent, depending on how your organization is configured.
For information about how to configure and use a secrets manager, see Secrets manager configuration.
Runtime Environment
Name of the runtime environment where you want to run tasks.
Select a Secure Agent, Hosted Agent, or serverless runtime environment.
You cannot run an application ingestion and replication task, database ingestion and replication task, file ingestion and replication task, or streaming ingestion and replication task on a Hosted Agent or serverless runtime environment.
Note: Hosted Agent doesn't apply for mappings that run on an advanced cluster. You also cannot use the Hosted Agent for IAM authentication and EC2 AssumeRole authentication.

Authentication types

You can configure default and Redshift IAM AssumeRole authentication types to access Amazon Redshift.
Note: Application ingestion and replication tasks and database ingestion and replication tasks do not support Redshift IAM AssumeRole authentication without an EC2 instance.
Select the required authentication method and then configure the authentication-specific parameters.
