Data sharing is crucial for innovation, growth, and collaboration, with organizations promoting it outperforming peers as per a Gartner study.
Amazon DataZone enables cataloging, discovering, and sharing data across AWS, solving challenges like managing permissions and data discovery across accounts.
The solution allows cross-account data collaboration, utilizing AWS analytical tools like Amazon Athena and Redshift query editor.
Data administrators, data publishers, and data subscribers play key roles in creating, publishing, and consuming data assets in this setup.
Prerequisites for setting up cross-account access include two AWS accounts, Amazon Redshift cluster, and AWS Secrets Manager for storing credentials.
Amazon DataZone leverages AWS Resource Access Manager for domain associations, facilitating automatic association for accounts in the same organization.
Steps involve setting up DataZone domain, requesting domain association, creating projects for Glue and Redshift, and subscribing to data assets.
Creating AWS Glue and Redshift environments, publishing data assets, setting up environment profiles, and subscribing to tables are integral parts of the process.
The solution aims to simplify cross-account data sharing, ensuring reliable access, consistent governance, and utilizing AWS Glue and Amazon Redshift for insights and decision-making.
