AWS redshift: Redshift COPY columnar: link title updates, CREDENTIALS link removed

Service: redshift · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: redshift/latest/dg/copy-usage_notes-copy-from-columnar.md

Summary

Renames the linked Redshift Spectrum enhanced VPC routing doc title to 'Querying data lake tables with enhanced VPC routing' in two places and removes the CREDENTIALS parameter link from the considerations list. No substantive change to the IAM/presigned URL guidance itself.

Security assessment

The only content change beyond a link-title rename is the deletion of a CREDENTIALS parameter cross-reference; the surrounding IAM policy and presigned URL (s3:signatureAge) guidance is unchanged, so this is editorial rather than a security fix or new security guidance.

Evidence

-    * [CREDENTIALS](./copy-parameters-authorization.html#copy-credentials)

To use COPY for these formats, be sure there are no IAM policies blocking the use of Amazon S3 presigned URLs. The presigned URLs generated by Amazon Redshift are valid for 1 hour so that Amazon Redshift has enough time to load all the files from the Amazon S3 bucket. A unique presigned URL is generated for each file scanned by COPY from columnar data formats.
