AWS has launched the catalog federation capability, enabling direct access to Apache Iceberg tables managed in Databricks Unity Catalog through the AWS Glue Data Catalog. With this integration, you can discover and query Unity Catalog data in Iceberg format using an Iceberg REST API endpoint, while maintaining granular access controls through AWS Lake Formation. In this post, we demonstrate how to set up catalog federation between the Glue Data Catalog and Databricks Unity Catalog, enabling data querying using AWS analytics services.

Amazon SageMaker announced a new feature that you can use to add custom tags to resources created through an Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio project. This helps you enforce tagging standards that conform to your organization’s service control policies (SCPs) and helps enable cost tracking reporting practices on resources created across the organization. In this post, we look at use cases for custom tags and how to use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to add tags to project resources.

In this post, we demonstrate how Kiro CLI and the MSK MCP server can streamline your Kafka management. Through practical examples and demonstrations, we show you how to use these tools to perform common administrative tasks efficiently while maintaining robust security and reliability.

In this post, we show you how the Apache Spark troubleshooting agent helps analyze Apache Spark issues by providing detailed root causes and actionable recommendations. You’ll learn how to streamline your troubleshooting workflow by integrating this agent with your existing monitoring solutions across Amazon EMR and AWS Glue.

In this post, you learn how to assess your existing Amazon EMR Spark applications, use the Spark upgrade agent directly from the Kiro IDE, upgrade a sample e-commerce order analytics Spark application project (including build configs, source code, tests, and data quality validation), and review code changes before rolling them out through your CI/CD pipeline.

AWS recently announced the general availability of GPU-accelerated vector (k-NN) indexing on Amazon OpenSearch Service. You can now build billion-scale vector databases in under an hour and index vectors up to 10 times faster at a quarter of the cost. This feature dynamically attaches serverless GPUs to boost domains and collections running CPU-based instances. With […]

AWS Glue now supports catalog federation for remote Iceberg tables in the Data Catalog. With catalog federation, you can query remote Iceberg tables, stored in Amazon S3 and cataloged in remote Iceberg catalogs, using AWS analytics engines and without moving or duplicating tables. In this post, we discuss how to get started with catalog federation for Iceberg tables in the Data Catalog.

In this post, we walk you through the new capabilities in Iceberg V3, explain how deletion vectors and row lineage address these challenges, explore real-world use cases across industries, and provide practical guidance on implementing Iceberg V3 features across AWS analytics, catalog, and storage services.

In this post, we walk you through a practical solution for secure, efficient cross-account data sharing and analysis. You’ll learn how to set up cross-account access to S3 Tables using federated catalogs in Amazon SageMaker, perform unified queries across accounts with Amazon Athena in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio, and implement fine-grained access controls at the column level using AWS Lake Formation.

Organizations manage content across multiple languages as they expand globally. Ecommerce platforms, customer support systems, and knowledge bases require efficient multilingual search capabilities to serve diverse user bases effectively. This unified search approach helps multinational organizations maintain centralized content repositories while making sure users, regardless of their preferred language, can effectively find and access relevant […]
