Glue Data Catalog And Lake Formation Governance

Overview

Use this skill when AWS governance is anchored in Glue Data Catalog and Lake Formation, not only in generic metadata tools. It helps agents design catalog structure, access controls, governed sharing, and publish-safe dataset access across lake and warehouse workflows.

When to Use

• designing Glue Data Catalog database or table organization
• defining Lake Formation permissions, tag-based access, or sharing boundaries
• reviewing governed access for S3, Athena, Glue, EMR, or Redshift
• improving metadata quality for AWS-native data discovery
• aligning platform-native governance with regulated-data and publish controls

Do not treat Lake Formation and the catalog as only platform-admin setup. They are part of delivery design.
