Amazon DataZone is used by customers to catalog, discover, analyze, share, and govern data at scale across organizational boundaries with governance and access controls. Today, Amazon DataZone has introduced an integration with AWS Lake Formation hybrid mode. This integration enables customers to easily publish and share their AWS Glue tables through Amazon DataZone, without the need to register them in AWS Lake Formation first. Hybrid mode allows customers to start managing permissions on their AWS Glue tables through AWS Lake Formation, while continuing to maintain any existing IAM permissions on these tables.

To get started, administrators enable the data location registration setting under the DefaultDataLake blueprint in the Amazon DataZone console. Then when a data consumer subscribes to an AWS Glue table managed through IAM permissions, Amazon DataZone first registers the Amazon S3 locations of this table in hybrid mode, and then grants access to the data consumer by managing permissions on the table through AWS Lake Formation. This ensures that IAM permissions on the table continue to exist with newly-granted AWS Lake Formation permissions, without disrupting any existing workflows.

The integration between Amazon DataZone and AWS Lake Formation hybrid mode is generally available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (London), and South America (São Paulo).
