Discovering, subscribing to, and consuming data in Amazon DataZone
In Amazon DataZone, once an asset is published to a domain, subscribers can discover and request a subscription to this asset. The subscription process begins with a subscriber searching for and browsing the catalog to find an asset they want. From the Amazon DataZone portal, they choose to subscribe to the asset by submitting a subscription request that includes justification and the reason for the request. The subscription approver, as defined in the publishing agreement, then reviews the access request. They can either approve or reject the request.
After a subscription is granted, a fulfillment process starts to facilitate access to the asset for the subscriber. There are two primary modes of asset access control and fulfillment: those for Amazon DataZone-managed assets and those for assets that are not managed by Amazon DataZone.
-
Managed assets – Amazon DataZone can manage fulfillment and permissions for managed assets, such as AWS Glue tables and Amazon Redshift tables and views.
-
Unmanaged assets – Amazon DataZone publishes standard events related to your actions (for example, approval given to a subscription request) to Amazon EventBridge. You can use these standard events to integrate with other AWS services or third-party solutions for custom integrations.
