FAQs

What is ETL?

ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.

What is AWS CloudTrail?

AWS CloudTrail is a web service developed to simplify and provide assistance with AWS accounts. Enabling compliance, governance, and operational and risk auditing, it allows users to monitor, log, and document AWS account-related activity in an easily searchable format. With its comprehensive account event history function, CloudTrail helps users analyze and troubleshoot security and operational issues, detect unusual account activity, and much more by increasing visibility into customers’ user and resource activity.

What is MS SQL Server?

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management (RDBMS) built by Microsoft. As a database server, its primary function is to store and retrieve data upon the request of other software applications, either from the same computer or a different computer across a network—including the internet. To serve the needs of different audiences and workload sizes, Microsoft offers multiple editions (at least 12) of its Microsoft SQL Server.

What data can you extract from AWS CloudTrail?

AWS CloudTrail provides access to a wide range of data related to AWS account activity and resource usage. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through the API:  

1. Event history: This includes information about all the events that have occurred in an AWS account, such as API calls, console sign-ins, and resource changes.  
2. Resource activity: This category includes data related to the usage of AWS resources, such as EC2 instances, S3 buckets, and RDS databases.  
3. User activity: This category includes data related to user activity in an AWS account, such as user sign-ins, password changes, and access key usage.  
4. Security analysis: This category includes data related to security events in an AWS account, such as failed login attempts, unauthorized access attempts, and changes to security groups.  
5. Compliance auditing: This category includes data related to compliance auditing in an AWS account, such as changes to IAM policies, CloudTrail configuration changes, and VPC network changes.  

Overall, the AWS CloudTrail API provides a comprehensive view of AWS account activity and resource usage, making it a valuable tool for monitoring and managing AWS environments.

How do I transfer data from AWS CloudTrail to MS SQL Server?

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps: 
1. Set up AWS CloudTrail as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Set up MS SQL Server as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

What are top ETL tools to extract data from

The most prominent ETL tools to transfer data from AWS CloudTrail to MS SQL Server include:
- Airbyte
- Fivetran
- StitchData
- Matillion
- Talend Data Integration
These tools help in extracting data from AWS CloudTrail and various sources (APIs, databases, and more), transforming it efficiently, and loading it into MS SQL Server and other databases, data warehouses and data lakes, enhancing data management capabilities.

What is ELT?

ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.

Difference between ETL and ELT?

ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
