Introduction
Tableau is a powerful data visualization tool for the Business intelligence Platforms. This Universal Task allows users users to perform an instant refresh to the Tableau Data sources worksheet and schedule refresh tasks in sync with the source systems to provide real-time analytics.
Overview
The task interacts with the AWS platform via a Python boto3 module.
All AWS credentials remain encrypted.
Customers can also install/configure a Linux Universal Agent for each EC2 instance, enabling the Universal Controller to instantly communicate with the newly created instance. (NOTE: only Linux Universal Agent is supported at the moment.)
This task also lets customers create multiple EC2 instances with the same configuration. New instances can also be tagged.
It allows customers to create a new keypair or use an existing one for the new EC2 instance.
This task also enables options for additional EBS volume and encryption, as well as detailed monitoring.
