Where can I find more information on the integration between Confluence and AWS Kendra

Question

Hi,

I recently saw the introduction vids of AWS Kendra. The was a suggestion that there is an integration available between Confluence and AWS Kendra.

As I'm looking into ways to make the Confluence search really work for its users, I was wondering whether this might be the answer.

However, I can't find any information from both Atlasssian and AWS about this integration. Is there anyone who can guide me into the right direction?

AWS recently announced integration between Amazon Kendra and Confluence server.

The blog post with more details is available here - https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/10/amazon-kendra-adds-confluence-server-connector/

Absolutely, I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a killer solution for every organization that can afford the Kendra price tag, which seems notable at first sight, but will likely pale compared to the productivity increase if the improvements to search usability and quality live up to the promise.

That's also why I dug a bit deeper, because we would very much like to add such higher value user level integrations to our (Utoolity) so far more developer/administrator oriented app portfolio with AWS integrations for Atlassian.

The required mature ETL processes for such a connector are non-trivial to implement though, and obviously it's hard to compete with free offerings by AWS and Atlassian ;)
