AWS Certified Data Analytics Specialty 2021 - Hands-On! - Amazon Redshift Distribution Styles

The video tutorial explains how Amazon Redshift distributes data across compute nodes and slices using different distribution styles. It covers four main styles: auto, even, key, and all distribution. Auto distribution automatically selects the best style based on table size. Even distribution spreads data evenly without considering joins. Key distribution groups data by column values to optimize queries. All distribution copies the entire table to each node, suitable for infrequently updated tables. The tutorial also shows how to view a table's distribution style using system views.
