Overview

The dataset we are using is from the department of transportation. Our goal is to quickly use this dataset, which is stored in a public S3 bucket, within Amazon Quicksight so that we can visualize and understand the amount flight delays by carrier per year.

To do this, we need to take a few steps:

  • In our AWS account, we need to add the flight data to our data catalog. We can do this with Amazon Athena, and we will use the Athena APIs in a Jupyter notebook to walk through this step.
  • We need to configure Amazon QuickSight. We will go through the initial configuration of Amazon QuickSight and granting access to the Athena service and back-end S3 bucket.
  • We need to create the Data Set in QuickSight.
  • We need to create visualizations in Amazon QuickSight.
