This workshop guided you through the process of creating and managing Amazon S3 Tables using both the AWS Management Console and CLI. Here’s a summary of the steps covered:

  • Created S3 Table Buckets for structured data storage.
  • Integrated Apache Spark with the S3 Tables Catalog for querying and processing large datasets.
  • Inserted and queried sample data in Iceberg Tables through Spark-Shell.

With Amazon S3 Tables, you can unlock the full potential of big data and take advantage of the AWS ecosystem’s capabilities.

Benefits of Amazon S3 Tables:

  1. Optimized Query Performance: With partitioning and efficient data processing, S3 Tables reduce query time, even for large datasets.
  2. Automated Management: S3 Tables handle metadata, data versioning, and schema updates automatically.
  3. Seamless Integration: Work seamlessly with AWS analytics services such as AWS Glue, Amazon Athena, and Amazon EMR.

Notes:

Currently, Amazon S3 Tables is available in select AWS regions (such as US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon)). Check the official AWS documentation for more details on availability.
