Amazon DataZone expands data access with tools like Tableau, Power BI, and more
Amazon DataZone now supports authentication with the Athena JDBC Driver, enabling data consumers to query their project’s subscribed data lake assets in Amazon DataZone using popular BI and analytics tools such as Tableau, Domino, Power BI, MS Excel, SQL Workbench, and more. Data analysts and scientists can seamlessly access and analyze governed data in Amazon DataZone using a standard JDBC connection with their preferred tools.
To get started, users can download and install the latest Athena JDBC driver for their tool of choice. To establish a connection, they will copy the JDBC string from the DataZone portal into the JDBC connection configuration and authenticate using single sign-on with their corporate credentials. Once connected, they can query, visualize, and share data—governed by Amazon DataZone—within the tools they already know and trust.
This feature is now available in all the AWS commercial regions where Amazon DataZone is supported.
