  1. Last week, we announced the general availability of the integration between Amazon DataZone and AWS Lake Formation hybrid access mode. In this post, we share how this new feature helps you simplify the way you use Amazon DataZone to enable secure and governed sharing of your data in the AWS Glue Data Catalog. We also delve into how data producers can share their AWS Glue tables through Amazon DataZone without needing to register them in Lake Formation first. Overview of the Amazon DataZone integration with Lake Formation hybrid access mode Amazon DataZone is a fully managed data management service to catalog, discover, analyze, share, and govern data between data producers and consumers in your organization. With Amazon DataZone, data producers populate the business data catalog with data assets from data sources such as the AWS Glue Data Catalog and Amazon Redshift. They also enrich their assets with business context to make it straightforward for data consumers to understand. After the data is available in the catalog, data consumers such as analysts and data scientists can search and access this data by requesting subscriptions. When the request is approved, Amazon DataZone can automatically provision access to the data by managing permissions in Lake Formation or Amazon Redshift so that the data consumer can start querying the data using tools such as Amazon Athena or Amazon Redshift. To manage the access to data in the AWS Glue Data Catalog, Amazon DataZone uses Lake Formation. Previously, if you wanted to use Amazon DataZone for managing access to your data in the AWS Glue Data Catalog, you had to onboard your data to Lake Formation first. Now, the integration of Amazon DataZone and Lake Formation hybrid access mode simplifies how you can get started with your Amazon DataZone journey by removing the need to onboard your data to Lake Formation first. Lake Formation hybrid access mode allows you to start managing permissions on your AWS Glue databases and tables through Lake Formation, while continuing to maintain any existing AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions on these tables and databases. Lake Formation hybrid access mode supports two permission pathways to the same Data Catalog databases and tables: In the first pathway, Lake Formation allows you to select specific principals (opt-in principals) and grant them Lake Formation permissions to access databases and tables by opting in The second pathway allows all other principals (that are not added as opt-in principals) to access these resources through the IAM principal policies for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and AWS Glue actions With the integration between Amazon DataZone and Lake Formation hybrid access mode, if you have tables in the AWS Glue Data Catalog that are managed through IAM-based policies, you can publish these tables directly to Amazon DataZone, without registering them in Lake Formation. Amazon DataZone registers the location of these tables in Lake Formation using hybrid access mode, which allows managing permissions on AWS Glue tables through Lake Formation, while continuing to maintain any existing IAM permissions. Amazon DataZone enables you to publish any type of asset in the business data catalog. For some of these assets, Amazon DataZone can automatically manage access grants. These assets are called managed assets, and include Lake Formation-managed Data Catalog tables and Amazon Redshift tables and views. Prior to this integration, you had to complete the following steps before Amazon DataZone could treat the published Data Catalog table as a managed asset: Identity the Amazon S3 location associated with Data Catalog table. Register the Amazon S3 location with Lake Formation in hybrid access mode using a role with appropriate permissions. Publish the table metadata to the Amazon DataZone business data catalog. The following diagram illustrates this workflow. With the Amazon DataZone’s integration with Lake Formation hybrid access mode, you can simply publish your AWS Glue tables to Amazon DataZone without having to worry about registering the Amazon S3 location or adding an opt-in principal in Lake Formation by delegating these steps to Amazon DataZone. The administrator of an AWS account can enable the data location registration setting under the DefaultDataLake blueprint on the Amazon DataZone console. Now, a data owner or publisher can publish their AWS Glue table (managed through IAM permissions) to Amazon DataZone without the extra setup steps. When a data consumer subscribes to this table, Amazon DataZone registers the Amazon S3 locations of the table in hybrid access mode, adds the data consumer’s IAM role as an opt-in principal, and grants access to the same IAM role by managing permissions on the table through Lake Formation. This makes sure that IAM permissions on the table can coexist with newly granted Lake Formation permissions, without disrupting any existing workflows. The following diagram illustrates this workflow. Solution overview To demonstrate this new capability, we use a sample customer scenario where the finance team wants to access data owned by the sales team for financial analysis and reporting. The sales team has a pipeline that creates a dataset containing valuable information about ticket sales, popular events, venues, and seasons. We call it the tickit dataset. The sales team stores this dataset in Amazon S3 and registers it in a database in the Data Catalog. The access to this table is currently managed through IAM-based permissions. However, the sales team wants to publish this table to Amazon DataZone to facilitate secure and governed data sharing with the finance team. The steps to configure this solution are as follows: The Amazon DataZone administrator enables the data lake location registration setting in Amazon DataZone to automatically register the Amazon S3 location of the AWS Glue tables in Lake Formation hybrid access mode. After the hybrid access mode integration is enabled in Amazon DataZone, the finance team requests a subscription to the sales data asset. The asset shows up as a managed asset, which means Amazon DataZone can manage access to this asset even if the Amazon S3 location of this asset isn’t registered in Lake Formation. The sales team is notified of a subscription request raised by the finance team. They review and approve the access request. After the request is approved, Amazon DataZone fulfills the subscription request by managing permissions in the Lake Formation. It registers the Amazon S3 location of the subscribed table in Lake Formation hybrid mode. The finance team gains access to the sales dataset required for their financial reports. They can go to their DataZone environment and start running queries using Athena against their subscribed dataset. Prerequisites To follow the steps in this post, you need an AWS account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one. In addition, you must have the following resources configured in your account: An S3 bucket An AWS Glue database and crawler IAM roles for different personas and services An Amazon DataZone domain and project An Amazon DataZone environment profile and environment An Amazon DataZone data source If you don’t have these resources already configured, you can create them by deploying the following AWS CloudFormation stack: Choose Launch Stack to deploy a CloudFormation template. Complete the steps to deploy the template and leave all settings as default. Select I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources, then choose Submit. After the CloudFormation deployment is complete, you can log in to the Amazon DataZone portal and manually trigger a data source run. This pulls any new or modified metadata from the source and updates the associated assets in the inventory. This data source has been configured to automatically publish the data assets to the catalog. On the Amazon DataZone console, choose View domains. You should be logged in using the same role that is used to deploy CloudFormation and verify that you are in the same AWS Region. Find the domain blog_dz_domain, then choose Open data portal. Choose Browse all projects and choose Sales producer project. On the Data tab, choose Data sources in the navigation pane. Locate and choose the data source that you want to run. This opens the data source details page. Choose the options menu (three vertical dots) next to tickit_datasource and choose Run. The data source status changes to Running as Amazon DataZone updates the asset metadata. Enable hybrid mode integration in Amazon DataZone In this step, the Amazon DataZone administrator goes through the process of enabling the Amazon DataZone integration with Lake Formation hybrid access mode. Complete the following steps: On a separate browser tab, open the Amazon DataZone console. Verify that you are in the same Region where you deployed the CloudFormation template. Choose View domains. Choose the domain created by AWS CloudFormation, blog_dz_domain. Scroll down on the domain details page and choose the Blueprints tab. A blueprint defines what AWS tools and services can be used with the data assets published in Amazon DataZone. The DefaultDataLake blueprint is enabled as part of the CloudFormation stack deployment. This blueprint enables you to create and query AWS Glue tables using Athena. For the steps to enable this in your own deployments, refer to Enable built-in blueprints in the AWS account that owns the Amazon DataZone domain. Choose the DefaultDataLake blueprint. On the Provisioning tab, choose Edit. Select Enable Amazon DataZone to register S3 locations using AWS Lake Formation hybrid access mode. You have the option of excluding specific Amazon S3 locations if you don’t want Amazon DataZone to automatically register them to Lake Formation hybrid access mode. Choose Save changes. Request access In this step, you log in to Amazon DataZone as the finance team, search for the sales data asset, and subscribe to it. Complete the following steps: Return to your Amazon DataZone data portal browser tab. Switch to the finance consumer project by choosing the dropdown menu next to the project name and choosing Finance consumer project. From this step onwards, you take on the persona of a finance user looking to subscribe to a data asset published in the previous step. In the search bar, search for and choose the sales data asset. Choose Subscribe. The asset shows up as managed asset. This means that Amazon DataZone can grant access to this data asset to the finance team’s project by managing the permissions in Lake Formation. Enter a reason for the access request and choose Subscribe. Approve access request The sales team gets a notification that an access request from the finance team is submitted. To approve the request, complete the following steps: Choose the dropdown menu next to the project name and choose Sales producer project. You now assume the persona of the sales team, who are the owners and stewards of the sales data assets. Choose the notification icon at the top-right corner of the DataZone portal. Choose the Subscription Request Created task. Grant access to the sales data asset to the finance team and choose Approve. Analyze the data The finance team has now been granted access to the sales data, and this dataset has been to their Amazon DataZone environment. They can access the environment and query the sales dataset with Athena, along with any other datasets they currently own. Complete the following steps: On the dropdown menu, choose Finance consumer project. On the right pane of the project overview screen, you can find a list of active environments available for use. Choose the Amazon DataZone environment finance_dz_environment. In the navigation pane, under Data assets, choose Subscribed. Verify that your environment now has access to the sales data. It may take a few minutes for the data asset to be automatically added to your environment. Choose the new tab icon for Query data. A new tab opens with the Athena query editor. For Database, choose finance_consumer_db_tickitdb-<suffix>. This database will contain your subscribed data assets. Generate a preview of the sales table by choosing the options menu (three vertical dots) and choosing Preview table. Clean up To clean up your resources, complete the following steps: Switch back to the administrator role you used to deploy the CloudFormation stack. On the Amazon DataZone console, delete the projects used in this post. This will delete most project-related objects like data assets and environments. On the AWS CloudFormation console, delete the stack you deployed in the beginning of this post. On the Amazon S3 console, delete the S3 buckets containing the tickit dataset. On the Lake Formation console, delete the Lake Formation admins registered by Amazon DataZone. On the Lake Formation console, delete tables and databases created by Amazon DataZone. Conclusion In this post, we discussed how the integration between Amazon DataZone and Lake Formation hybrid access mode simplifies the process to start using Amazon DataZone for end-to-end governance of your data in the AWS Glue Data Catalog. This integration helps you bypass the manual steps of onboarding to Lake Formation before you can start using Amazon DataZone.

  2. AWS Lake Formation and the Glue Data Catalog now extend data cataloging, data sharing and fine-grained access control support for customers using a self-managed Apache Hive Metastore (HMS) as their data catalog. Previously, customers had to replicate their metadata into the AWS Glue Data Catalog in order use Lake Formation permissions and data sharing capabilities. Now, customers can integrate their HMS metadata within AWS, allowing them to discover data alongside native tables in the Glue data catalog, manage permissions and sharing from Lake Formation, and query data using AWS analytics services.
