Enforce table level access control on data lake tables using AWS Glue 5.0 with AWS Lake Formation

Big Data Blog



This article discusses the new Full-Table Access (FTA) control feature in AWS Glue 5.0 with AWS Lake Formation, which enables more flexible and performant table-level access control for data lakes.

  • AWS Glue 5.0 now supports Full-Table Access (FTA) control in Apache Spark based on Lake Formation policies
  • Enables read and write operations on Lake Formation registered tables
  • Supports complex Spark operations including RDDs, custom libraries, and user-defined functions
  • Allows DML operations like CREATE, ALTER, DELETE, UPDATE, and MERGE INTO on Hive and Iceberg tables
  • Provides table-level security with lower performance overhead compared to fine-grained access control

The article provides a detailed walkthrough of migrating an AWS Glue 4.0 job to AWS Glue 5.0, demonstrating how to configure Lake Formation permissions and modify Spark configurations for native FTA support.
