Register federated catalogs in Athena
After you create connections to federated data sources, you can register them as federated data catalogs for simplified data discovery and manage data access with fine-grained permissions using Lake Formation. For more information, see Register your connection as a Glue Data Catalog.
Considerations and limitations
-
DDL operations are not supported on federated catalogs.
You can register the following connectors to integrate with AWS Glue for fine-grained access control:
When you create a resource link for Glue connection federation, the name of resource link must be same as the database name of the producer.
-
Currently, only lowercase table and column names are recognized even if the data source is case insensitive.
