Time-series forecasting with AWS Redshift

To accomplish time-series forecasting with AWS Redshift, you'd typically start by creating a Redshift cluster. Then, you populate it with the necessary data and run forecasting queries on that data using Redshift's SQL capabilities.

Keep in mind, the actual time-series forecasting part would be much more closely tied to the data you have and how you implement your SQL queries to get forecasts. Pulumi can help you manage your infrastructure (i.e., create, update and delete a Redshift cluster), but how you interact with Redshift would be out of Pulumi's scope.

Below is a simple Pulumi program that creates a Redshift cluster using the AWS provider.

using Pulumi;
using Pulumi.Aws.Redshift;

class MyStack : Stack
{
    public MyStack()
    {
        // Create a new Redshift cluster
        var exampleCluster = new Cluster("exampleCluster", new ClusterArgs
        {
            ClusterIdentifier       = "example",
            ClusterType             = "single-node",
            NodeType                = "dc1.large",
            MasterUsername          = "exampleuser",
            MasterPassword          = "examplepassword",
            DatabaseName            = "example",
            AvailabilityZone        = "us-west-2a",
            PreferredMaintenanceWindow = "Mon:00:30-Mon:01:00",
            Port                    = 5439,
            PubliclyAccessible      = true,
        });
        
        // Export the cluster endpoint
        this.ClusterEndpoint = exampleCluster.Endpoint;
    }

    [Output("clusterEndpoint")]
    public Output<string> ClusterEndpoint { get; set; }
}

This program creates a new Redshift cluster and configures it with basic options such as:

• ClusterType: The type of the cluster. In this example, we have selected 'single-node'
• NodeType: The node type to be provisioned for the cluster.
• MasterUsername and MasterPassword: These are the username and password used to connect to the database.
• DatabaseName: The name of the first database to be created when the cluster is created.
• AvailabilityZone: The EC2 Availability Zone (AZ) where Amazon Redshift provisions the cluster.
• PreferredMaintenanceWindow: The weekly time range (in UTC) during which automated cluster maintenance can occur.
• Port: The port number on which the cluster accepts incoming connections. Defaults to 5439.
• PubliclyAccessible: Determines if the cluster can be accessed from a public network.

For more properties, you could refer to aws.redshift.Cluster in the Pulumi Registry. Remember, any sensitive information such as login credentials and personal access tokens should be managed securely, such as via Pulumi configuration secrets or environment variables.
