AWS updated Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio to support data lineage compatible with the OpenLineage standard within IAM-based domains, complementing existing support in IAM Identity Center-based domains. This enhancement captures lineage events from Apache Spark jobs running on EMR, AWS Glue, Visual ETL, and notebooks, providing comprehensive tracking of data workflows.
Users can interact with an interactive lineage graph showing data movement from sources to consumption at varying detail levels, including column-level lineage. The update also adds APIs to publish, query, manage, and delete lineage events programmatically. This feature is available in all SageMaker-supported AWS Regions and aims to improve transparency and governance of machine learning data pipelines.
