AWS Lake Formation

AWS Lake Formation simplifies the setup and management of data lakes. Data lakes serve as repositories for various types of organizational data, structured or unstructured data at any scale. We can think of a data lake as a vast body of water where we can store raw data in its native format, such as text files, images, videos, sensor data, log files, and more. This data can come from various sources and formats, and it's stored in its raw form until it's needed for analysis.

AWS Lake Formation aids in data management, security management, and data sharing with other AWS services for analytics and machine learning tasks. It also helps manage fine-grained access control to data lakes. Lake Formation enables users to focus on deriving insights from their data rather than handling infrastructure and security complexities.
