Amazon DataZone data products

Amazon DataZone enables data producers to group data assets into well-defined, self-contained packages called data products that are tailored for specific business use-cases. Using cohesive, business-aligned data products enhances both the publishing and the subscription processes. Data consumers can easily identify interconnected data assets by searching for and finding them as a single unit. This approach reduces the time and effort required to find all relevant information and lowers the risk of missing important data. Also, data products simplify access to data with a single request by implementing a unified access model. This eliminates the need for multiple permissions, thereby speeding up the initiation of data analysis. In addition, by cataloging assets as data products, data producers reduce administrative overhead by enabling metadata and access control management at the data product level, rather than individually. Moreover, the ability to surface these purpose-built grouped assets for consumption makes access governance and data utilization more efficient, ensuring it aligns with business goals and is easily accessible for its intended use. Data governance teams can monitor consumption rates for these data products, providing valuable insights into data literacy maturity.
