Accelerating innovation in education: Implementing the Prometheus-X Data Space Connector on AWS

This article explains how to implement the Prometheus-X Data Space Connector (PDC) on AWS to enable secure data sharing in the education sector.

• Prometheus-X creates a standardized data space for education and skills organizations to share data securely
• PDC acts as a bridge between organizations' internal systems and the PTX ecosystem
• AWS architecture uses ECS/Fargate, S3, AWS Glue, Lambda, Route 53, and Certificate Manager
• Data flows: raw S3 bucket → AWS Glue cleaning → destination S3 bucket → Lambda catalog registration
• Processed data can be analyzed via Athena/QuickSight or used for ML with SageMaker
• Step-by-step setup guide provided for EC2 instance deployment with Docker and Nginx
• Requires VisionsTrust account registration and API keys
• SSL/TLS certificates recommended for secure communication

The guide enables EdTech companies and educational institutions to participate in the skills and education data space, facilitating secure collaboration and data monetization opportunities.
