AWS Lake Formation improved its cross-account sharing capabilities by allowing customers to share hundreds of thousands of tables, databases, and catalogs across multiple accounts or organizations. The service centralizes access control with Lake Formation permissions and AWS Resource Access Manager shares, eliminating previous limits on resource associations.
This enhancement supports fine-grained analytics environments requiring scalable, secure data sharing. The upgrade uses a wildcard resource sharing model that maintains compatibility with existing APIs and shares, simplifying management of multi-account data lakes.
