In the shortest form, what I appreciated about AWS Lake Formation was that the schema definition and data cataloging were quite good.
AWS Lake Formation enhances data integration and functionality with AWS technologies, offering robust analytics for data insight management. It supports efficient workflows, providing cost and resource savings, and integrates with IAM for seamless data permissions. Granular access control features like LF-Tag ensure data protection. Despite costly AWS services and complex onboarding, improvements in access control and sharing could enhance its automation capabilities and security, addressing challenges in configuration and role-based management.
