Integrate custom applications with AWS Lake Formation – Part 1
- AWS Lake Formation is used to centrally manage and secure data for analysis and machine learning.
- It allows fine-grained access control and encompasses data security using the AWS Glue Data Catalog.
- In this two-part series, the article explores how to integrate custom applications or data processing engines with Lake Formation using third-party service integration.
- The article explains the steps to enforce Lake Formation policies within custom data applications by invoking APIs such as sts:AssumeRole, glue:GetUnfilteredTableMetadata, glue:GetUnfilteredPartitionsMetadata, lakeformation:GetTemporaryGlueTableCredentials, and lakeformation:GetTemporaryGluePartitionCredentials.
- The article further explains how IAM roles can be used for an external application to access resources in an Lake Formation environment.
- Lambda serves as an external trusted engine in this instance, and we also explore an architecture diagram that leverages the aforementioned APIs.
- The article also covers the prerequisites for deploying and testing the solution and provides instructions on how to test the Lambda function.
- Finally, the article presents additional considerations and concludes by stating that this exploration serves as a foundation for developing your own custom applications or data processing engines that need to operate on an Lake Formation protected data lake.
