    • DataAnalystUS

    • DataAnalystJP

  • Lake Formation data lake settings and permissions

  • A Lambda function (for Lambda-backed Amazon CloudFormation custom resources) used to copy sample data files from the public Amazon S3 bucket to your Amazon S3 bucket

  • An Amazon S3 bucket to serve as our data lake

  • An Amazon Glue Data Catalog database, table, and partition
