This blog post discusses how to create a seamless integration between Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse and Snowflake for modern data analytics. It specifically demonstrates how organizations can enable Snowflake to access tables in AWS Glue Data Catalog (stored in S3 buckets) through SageMaker Lakehouse Iceberg REST Catalog, with security managed by AWS Lake Formation. The post provides a detailed technical walkthrough of implementing this integration, including creating IAM roles and policies, configuring Lake Formation access controls, setting up catalog integration in Snowflake, and managing data access permissions. While four different patterns exist for accessing Iceberg tables from Snowflake, the blog focuses on the first pattern using catalog integration with SigV4 authentication and Lake Formation credential vending.

The Amazon SageMaker lakehouse architecture now automates optimization of Iceberg tables stored in Amazon S3 with catalog-level configuration, optimizing storage in your Iceberg tables and improving query performance. This post demonstrates an end-to-end flow to enable catalog level table optimization setting.

In this post, we review how to set up Redshift Serverless to use geospatial data contained within a data lake to enhance maps in ArcGIS Pro. This technique helps builders and GIS analysts use available datasets in data lakes and transform it in Amazon Redshift to further enrich the data before presenting it on a map.

In this post, we show you how Stifel implemented a modern data platform using AWS services and open data standards, building an event-driven architecture for domain data products while centralizing the metadata to facilitate discovery and sharing of data products.

In this post, we show you how to enforce FTA control on AWS Glue 5.0 through Lake Formation permissions.

At AWS re:Invent 2024, we introduced a no code zero-ETL integration between Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse, simplifying how organizations handle data analytics and AI workflows. In this post, we share how to set up this zero-ETL integration from DynamoDB to your SageMaker Lakehouse environment.

In this post, we guide you through the process of creating a Data Catalog view using EMR Serverless, adding the SQL dialect to the view for Athena, sharing it with another account using LF-Tags, and then querying the view in the recipient account using a separate EMR Serverless workspace and AWS Glue 5.0 Spark job and Athena. This demonstration showcases the versatility and cross-account capabilities of Data Catalog views and access through various AWS analytics services.

In this post, we show you how to share an Amazon Redshift table and Amazon S3 based Iceberg table from the account that owns the data to another account that consumes the data. In the recipient account, we run a join query on the shared data lake and data warehouse tables using Spark in AWS Glue 5.0. We walk you through the complete cross-account setup and provide the Spark configuration in a Python notebook.

This post outlines a solution to automatically replicate the entitlements for readers from the source (AWS Lake Formation) to Amazon QuickSight. This solution can be used even when the authentication method in Amazon QuickSight is not using IAM Identity Center and can work with both direct query and SPICE datasets in Amazon QuickSight.

Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse now supports attribute-based access control (ABAC) with AWS Lake Formation, using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) principals and session tags to simplify data access, grant creation, and maintenance. In this post, we demonstrate how to get started with SageMaker Lakehouse with ABAC.
