Use AWS Lake Formation in Okou

Use the AWS Lake Formation API to inspect and govern data lake resources, LF-tags, permissions, data-cell filters, transactions, and query-planning workflows.

Once connected, supported AWS Lake Formation actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.

What you can do with AWS Lake Formation

  • Read Lake Formation data lake settings, registered resources, LF-tags, permissions, transactions, query state, and governed-table metadata. Responses may contain sensitive account or Data Catalog metadata.
  • Obtain temporary AWS credentials or assume a decorated SAML role for Lake Formation data access. These responses return reusable credentials and are never default-allowed.
