Unifying governance and metadata across Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio and Atlan

This article explains how to integrate Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio with Atlan for unified metadata governance through bidirectional synchronization.

• Bidirectional metadata sync between SageMaker Catalog and Atlan keeps governance consistent
• Secure IAM-based connection using CloudFormation template for least-privilege access
• On-demand and scheduled synchronization of glossary terms, descriptions, and classifications
• Ingests projects, assets, domains, data products, and metadata forms into Atlan
• Real-time reverse sync detects Atlan changes and updates SageMaker Unified Studio automatically
• Phase 1 focuses on metadata sync; Phase 2 will add lineage and data quality
• Comprehensive audit logging captures all changes for traceability and troubleshooting

This integration enables organizations to maintain a single trusted view of data assets across business and technical teams, eliminating metadata fragmentation and governance inconsistencies.
