AWS Lake Formation

AWS Lake Formation helps to centralise and simplify data lake security management and governance at scale, and enables fine-grained permissions across your data lake. It provides database, table, column, row and cell level permissioning using tag-based or name-based access controls, and cross-account sharing at no charge.

  • Permissions
  • AWS Lake Formation provides database, table, column, row and cell-level permissions using tag-based or name-based access controls, and cross-account sharing. AWS Lake Formation integrates with services like AWS Glue, Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift, Amazon CloudTrail and others.

    Pricing
    Creating permissions listed above or using permissions by integrated services are provided at no charge.

    Additional charges
    Standard usage rates for integrated services, like Amazon S3 or AWS Glue Data Catalogue, will apply based on pricing for these services.

    Pricing examples
    Data catalogue example: let’s consider that you store one million tables in your data catalogue in a given month, you make one million requests to access these tables and you have ten name-based access controls on your tables. You pay £0 for the Glue Data Catalogue because your usage is covered under the free tier. You pay £0 for the permissions in AWS Lake Formation because they are provided at no charge.
