Amazon DataZone announces custom blueprints for AWS services

This article announces the general availability of custom AWS service blueprints, a new feature in Amazon DataZone that allows users to customize their project environments to use existing IAM roles and AWS services. This new feature enables users to integrate existing AWS resources, such as Amazon Redshift databases, Amazon S3 buckets, and AWS Glue Data Catalog tables, with Amazon DataZone and use the publication and subscription features to share and govern them.

Specifically, the article covers:

• Benefits of custom AWS service blueprints, including using existing resources, configuring action links, and bringing your own resources as data sources and subscription targets.
• Use cases, such as bringing your own role and resources, enabling multi-file downloads and uploads from Amazon S3, and extending existing environments to custom blueprint environments.
• Step-by-step instructions for setting up custom blueprints, including enabling the feature, creating environments, configuring action links, and accessing resources through the Amazon DataZone portal.
• Configuring data sources and subscription targets for custom blueprints.
• Extending existing data lake and data warehouse blueprints to custom AWS service environments.
