With this enhancement, organizations can securely share and analyze datasets across parties by accessing Iceberg tables cataloged remotely via AWS Glue federation capabilities. This removes the need to replicate table metadata into the Clean Rooms environment, simplifying setup and preserving data autonomy.
Use cases include joint data evaluation such as advertising analytics between partners, where underlying data remains undisclosed while enabling combined insights. The feature is deployed in AWS regions supporting AWS Clean Rooms and facilitates secure, privacy-preserving collaboration on collective datasets.
