Building a Secure Data Lake with AWS Lake Formation
This blog gives an introduction of AWS Lake Formation service and describes how to setup AWS Lake Formation to enforce access controls that operate at the table, column, row, and cell-level for two users that access your data lake stored in S3. In this blog we will walk through the introduction, benefits, working and use cases of lake formation in AWS. Apart from this, we will see how to add a data lake in S3, create database and tables using AWS Glue and how to setup lake formation to order to enforce access controls that operate at the table, column, row, and cell-level for two users and query Athena to verify the results. This will reduce the effort in configuring policies across services and provides consistent enforcement and compliance.
