AWS has launched the catalog federation capability, enabling direct access to Apache Iceberg tables managed in Databricks Unity Catalog through the AWS Glue Data Catalog. With this integration, you can discover and query Unity Catalog data in Iceberg format using an Iceberg REST API endpoint, while maintaining granular access controls through AWS Lake Formation. In this post, we demonstrate how to set up catalog federation between the Glue Data Catalog and Databricks Unity Catalog, enabling data querying using AWS analytics services.

Amazon SageMaker announced a new feature that you can use to add custom tags to resources created through an Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio project. This helps you enforce tagging standards that conform to your organization’s service control policies (SCPs) and helps enable cost tracking reporting practices on resources created across the organization. In this post, we look at use cases for custom tags and how to use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to add tags to project resources.

AWS Glue now supports catalog federation for remote Iceberg tables in the Data Catalog. With catalog federation, you can query remote Iceberg tables, stored in Amazon S3 and cataloged in remote Iceberg catalogs, using AWS analytics engines and without moving or duplicating tables. In this post, we discuss how to get started with catalog federation for Iceberg tables in the Data Catalog.

In this post, we walk you through the new capabilities in Iceberg V3, explain how deletion vectors and row lineage address these challenges, explore real-world use cases across industries, and provide practical guidance on implementing Iceberg V3 features across AWS analytics, catalog, and storage services.

In this post, we walk you through a practical solution for secure, efficient cross-account data sharing and analysis. You’ll learn how to set up cross-account access to S3 Tables using federated catalogs in Amazon SageMaker, perform unified queries across accounts with Amazon Athena in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, and implement fine-grained access controls at the column level using AWS Lake Formation.

Organizations manage content across multiple languages as they expand globally. Ecommerce platforms, customer support systems, and knowledge bases require efficient multilingual search capabilities to serve diverse user bases effectively. This unified search approach helps multinational organizations maintain centralized content repositories while making sure users, regardless of their preferred language, can effectively find and access relevant […]

In this post, we demonstrate how to connect your local VS Code to SageMaker Unified Studio so you can build complete end-to-end data and AI workflows while working in your preferred development environment.

We are now announcing support for Lake Formation tag-based access control (LF-TBAC) to federated catalogs of S3 Tables, Redshift data warehouses, and federated data sources such as Amazon DynamoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Amazon DocumentDB, Google BigQuery, and Snowflake. In this post, we illustrate how to manage S3 Tables and Redshift tables in the lakehouse using a single fine-grained access control mechanism of LF-TBAC. We also show how to access these lakehouse tables using your choice of analytics services, such as Athena, Redshift, and Apache Spark in Amazon EMR Serverless.

In July 2025, Amazon SageMaker announced support for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) general purpose buckets and prefixes in Amazon SageMaker Catalog that delivers fine-grained access control and permissions through S3 Access Grants. In this post, we explore how this integration addresses key challenges our customers have shared with us, and how data producers, such as administrators and data engineers, can seamlessly share and govern S3 buckets and prefixes using S3 Access Grants, while making it readily discoverable for data consumers.

ATPCO is the backbone of modern airline retailing, helping airlines and third-party channels deliver the right offers to customers at the right time. ATPCO addressed data governance challenges using Amazon DataZone. SageMaker Unified Studio, built on the same architecture as Amazon DataZone, offers additional capabilities, so users can complete various tasks such as building data pipelines using AWS Glue and Amazon EMR, or conducting analyses using Amazon Athena and Amazon Redshift query editor across diverse datasets, all within a single, unified environment. In this post, we walk you through the challenges ATPCO addresses for their business using SageMaker Unified Studio.
