AWS Lake Formation

About AWS Lake Formation

AWS Lake Formation is a service that allows users to easily create a secure data lake. Lake Formation makes it simple to gather and categorise the information from databases and object storage, then transfer it into a new data lake where it can be cleaned and sorted. It greatly benefits individuals by allowing them to easily create data lakes and convert data into forms that allow for speedier analyses. Furthermore, the programme offers a single location for all users and services accessing the data to set and enforce access rules that function at the table, column, row, and cell levels. User policies are executed consistently, removing the need to manually set them across multiple security and storage services, significantly reducing policy configuration work. In addition, the programme creates a data catalogue that lists all of the datasets accessible and who has access to them. This increases user productivity by assisting them in locating the appropriate dataset to examine.
