register-resource¶

Description¶

Registers the resource as managed by the Data Catalog.

To add or update data, Lake Formation needs read/write access to the chosen Amazon S3 path. Choose a role that you know has permission to do this, or choose the AWSServiceRoleForLakeFormationDataAccess service-linked role. When you register the first Amazon S3 path, the service-linked role and a new inline policy are created on your behalf. Lake Formation adds the first path to the inline policy and attaches it to the service-linked role. When you register subsequent paths, Lake Formation adds the path to the existing policy.

The following request registers a new location and gives Lake Formation permission to use the service-linked role to access that location.

ResourceArn = arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket UseServiceLinkedRole = true

If UseServiceLinkedRole is not set to true, you must provide or set the RoleArn :

arn:aws:iam::12345:role/my-data-access-role

Options¶

--resource-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource that you want to register.

--use-service-linked-role | --no-use-service-linked-role (boolean)

Designates an Identity and Access Management (IAM) service-linked role by registering this role with the Data Catalog. A service-linked role is a unique type of IAM role that is linked directly to Lake Formation.

For more information, see Using Service-Linked Roles for Lake Formation .

--role-arn (string)

The identifier for the role that registers the resource.

--with-federation | --no-with-federation (boolean)

Whether or not the resource is a federated resource.

--hybrid-access-enabled | --no-hybrid-access-enabled (boolean)

Specifies whether the data access of tables pointing to the location can be managed by both Lake Formation permissions as well as Amazon S3 bucket policies.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To register data lake storage using Service Linked Role

The following register-resource example registers the resource as managed by the Lake Formation using Service linked role.

aws lakeformation register-resource \
    --cli-input-json file://input.json

Contents of input.json:

{
    "ResourceArn": "arn:aws:s3:::lf-emr-athena-result-123",
    "UseServiceLinkedRole": true
}

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Adding an Amazon S3 location to your data lake in the AWS Lake Formation Developer Guide.

Example 2: To register data lake storage using custom role

The following register-resource example registers the resource as managed by the Lake Formation using custom role.

aws lakeformation register-resource \
    --cli-input-json file://input.json

Contents of input.json:

{
    "ResourceArn": "arn:aws:s3:::lf-emr-athena-result-123",
    "UseServiceLinkedRole": false,
    "RoleArn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789111:role/LF-GlueServiceRole"
}

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Adding an Amazon S3 location to your data lake in the AWS Lake Formation Developer Guide.
