This article discusses the expanded capabilities of AWS Glue Data Catalog views, which now support Apache Spark environments in EMR Serverless, EMR on EKS, and AWS Glue 5.0, alongside existing support for Athena and Amazon Redshift.

• Enables creating, sharing, and querying multi-engine SQL views across different AWS analytics services
• Allows cross-account view sharing using AWS Lake Formation permissions
• Supports fine-grained access control through Lake Formation tag-based access control (LF-TBAC)
• Provides benefits like targeted data sharing, multi-service analytics integration, and centralized auditing
