AWS Lake Formation
Publisher: Toro Cloud
AWS Lake Formation is a service that makes it easy to set up a secure data lake in days. A data lake is a centralized, curated, and secured repository that stores all your data, both in its original form and prepared for analysis. A data lake enables you to break down data silos and combine different types of analytics to gain insights and guide better business decisions.
Lake Formation helps you do the following, either directly or through other AWS services:
- Register the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets and paths where your data lake will reside.
- Orchestrate data flows that ingest, cleanse, transform, and organize the raw data.
- Create and manage a Data Catalog containing metadata about data sources and data in the data lake.
- Define granular data access policies to the metadata and data through a grant/revoke permissions model.
