Services or capabilities described in AWS documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region, see the AWS European Sovereign Cloud User Guide.

Creating resource links

Resource links are Data Catalog objects that are links to metadata databases and tables—typically to shared databases and tables from other AWS accounts. They help to enable cross-account access to data in the data lake across all AWS Regions.

Note

Lake Formation supports querying Data Catalog tables across AWS Regions. You can access the Data Catalog databases and tables from any AWS Region by creating resource links in those regions that point to shared databases and tables in different Regions.
