Announcing support of AWS Glue Data Catalog views with AWS Glue 5.0

Today, we announce support for AWS Glue Data Catalog views with AWS Glue 5.0 for Apache Spark jobs. AWS Glue Data Catalog views with AWS Glue 5.0 allows customers to create views from Glue 5.0 Spark jobs that can be queried from multiple engines without requiring access to referenced tables.

AWS Glue is a serverless, scalable data integration service that makes it simple to discover, prepare, move, and integrate data from multiple sources. AWS Glue Data Catalog views are virtual tables in which the contents are defined by a SQL query that references one or more tables. These views support multiple SQL query engines, so you can access the same view across different AWS services. Administrators can control underlying data access using the rich SQL dialect provided by AWS Glue 5.0 Spark jobs. Access is managed with AWS Lake Formation permissions, including named resource grants, data filters, and lake formation tags. All requests are logged in AWS CloudTrail.

AWS Glue Data Catalog views is generally available on AWS Glue 5.0, in all AWS Glue 5.0 regions.
