Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Creating resource links

Resource links are Data Catalog objects that are links to metadata databases and tables—typically to shared databases and tables from other Amazon accounts. They help to enable cross-account access to data in the data lake across all Amazon Regions.

Note

Lake Formation supports querying Data Catalog tables across Amazon Regions. You can access the Data Catalog databases and tables from any Amazon Region by creating resource links in those regions that point to shared databases and tables in different Regions.
