HAQM DataZone is a new data management service to catalog, discover, analyze, share, and govern data across organizational boundaries. Visibility of and access to data are key drivers of innovation and value for business. To provide visibility and access between organizations, HAQM DataZone creates a usage flywheel. The flywheel is driven by data producers, who securely share data and its context, and data consumers, who find answers to business questions in the data.

With HAQM DataZone, data producers populate the business data catalog with structured data assets from AWS Glue Data Catalog and HAQM Redshift tables. Data consumers search and subscribe to data assets in the data catalog and share with other business use case collaborators. Consumers can analyze their subscribed data assets with tools such as HAQM Redshift or HAQM Athena query editors that are directly accessed from the HAQM DataZone portal. The integrated publishing-and-subscription workflow provides access-auditing capabilities across projects.

HAQM DataZone (preview) root domains can be provisioned in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), or Europe (Ireland). AWS IAM Identity Center, successor to AWS Single Sign-on, must be configured in the same AWS Region as the root domain. You can publish data from any of these Regions to the HAQM DataZone catalog. Subscribe to the data and consume it in the same Region as data in AWS analytics services such as HAQM Redshift and Athena.
