Amazon Neptune Workbench is now available in Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), and Middle East (Bahrain) regions

Amazon Neptune Workbench is now available in Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), and Middle East (Bahrain) regions. Starting today, you can use the Neptune Workbench to create Neptune notebook instances in these regions for visualizing graph data in Neptune, accessing tutorials, and running code samples using an interactive coding environment.

Amazon Neptune is a fast, reliable, and fully managed service that helps you build and run applications that work with highly connected datasets, such as knowledge graphs, fraud graphs, identity graphs, and security graphs. You can use the Neptune Workbench to visualize results of openCypher, Gremlin, and SPARQL queries, making it simple to get started with graph applications. You can also use the Neptune Workbench magics to invoke the bulk loader, run query plans, and interactively build and train machine learning models using Neptune ML. Neptune notebooks are launched using the latest release of the open source GitHub project, graph-notebook.

To get started, create a new Neptune notebook in the AWS Management Console and check out the sample application tutorials packaged with every new notebook instance, such as “Building A Security Graph Application on Amazon Neptune”. For more details on visualization features in the Neptune Workbench, refer to the Amazon Neptune User Guide.

Refer to the Neptune pricing page for Neptune Workbench pricing and availability. Neptune notebooks are hosted by and billed as Amazon SageMaker Notebook Instances. Customers are charged for the notebook instance while the instance is in Ready state.
