How Amazon is moving to integrate catalogs to improve data discovery with Amazon SageMaker

This article describes how Amazon integrated its enterprise data catalog (Andes) with Amazon SageMaker to improve data discovery and governance across the organization.

• Teams previously searched multiple catalogs for datasets, dashboards, metrics, and other data assets
• Amazon needed multimodal catalog consolidating all asset types in one location
• Solution extends Andes with SageMaker for unified governance and access control
• SageMaker integrates with AWS IAM Identity Center for trusted identity propagation
• Catalog connectors synchronize assets while preserving existing governance workflows
• Business teams can author domain-specific glossaries for improved discoverability
• SageMaker Unified Studio provides single interface for data discovery and consumption
• Native integration with Git, Athena, Glue, EMR, and Redshift analytics engines
• Results include faster data discovery and reduced data silos across teams

Amazon demonstrates how organizations can expand catalog capabilities while preserving existing enterprise investments through strategic SageMaker integration.
