AWS Data Exchange for Amazon S3 (Preview)
Directly access and use data providers’ Amazon S3 data
AWS Data Exchange for Amazon S3 (Preview) allows data subscribers to access third-party data files directly from data providers’ Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets. Subscribers can easily use these files for their data analysis with AWS services, such as Amazon Athena, Amazon SageMaker Feature Store, and Amazon EMR, without needing to create or manage data copies.
Key benefits for data subscribers
Once subscribed, you can use the provider’s data anywhere you’d use an Amazon S3 bucket name to access data in S3.
Start your analysis without having to set up your own S3 buckets, copy data files into those S3 buckets, or pay associated storage fees.
Simple management of data licensing
Access to the provider’s S3 bucket is automatically granted when you subscribe and automatically revoked when the subscription ends.
Automatic updates
By accessing the same S3 objects that the data provider maintains, you always use the most up-to-date data available, without additional engineering or operational work.
