Launching your Curator instance from AWS is a pretty simple process. Best of all: AWS gives you the flexibility to bring an existing license you have already purchased from InterWorks, or you can purchase Curator right inside AWS Marketplace.
Using AWS Marketplace, your Curator instance is already installed and “ready to go”, so you don’t need to worry about anything, except enjoying your new Curator instance!
The two videos below illustrate the full launch process from within the AWS Marketplace. The first video details the process when you already have a Curator license, while the second shows you how to spin up Curator purchasing directly from AWS.

When Purchasing Directly from AWS
Managing a self-hosted web platform can be time-consuming, costly, and complex. If you’re currently self-hosting Curator, migrating to our SaaS platform can unlock a world of advantages designed to make your analytics experience seamless and hassle-free, freeing your team to create further impact on your business.
Recently, Tableau has been encouraging the use of connected apps for external applications, instead of using trusted tickets. All of Tableau’s recent embedding features require connected apps. Since this only deals with behind the scenes authentication, there is no impact to the end user. In our effort to remain closely aligned with Tableau, Curator is transitioning to only using connected apps.
Curator has added the feature to be able to send mark commenting data to a webhook. With the widespread use of API integration platforms, this really opens the doorway to virtually unlimited use cases.
