Adding an Amazon S3 location to your data lake
To add an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) location as storage in your data lake, you register the location with AWS Lake Formation. You can then use Lake Formation permissions for fine-grained access control to AWS Glue Data Catalog objects that point to this location, and to the underlying data in the location.
When you register a location, that Amazon S3 path and all folders under that path are registered.
For example, suppose that you have an Amazon S3 path organization like the following:
/mybucket/accounting/sales/
If you register S3://mybucket/accounting, the sales
folder is also registered and under Lake Formation management.
For more information about registering locations, see Underlying Data Access Control.
