Chapter 8. AWS Glue
AWS Glue is a fully managed data integration service that provides a streamlined way to prepare and integrate data for various analytical workloads, such as business intelligence (BI) and machine learning (ML). It also offers a user-friendly visual interface that simplifies the process of job creation, execution, and management. By leveraging AWS Glue, users can use the scalable, serverless data catalog to manage their workflows. AWS Glue 3.0 and later versions support the Apache Iceberg table format.
