Step 1: Provision your resources - Amazon Lake Formation
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).

Step 1: Provision your resources

This tutorial includes an Amazon CloudFormation template for a quick setup. You can review and customize it to suit your needs. The template creates three different roles (listed in Intended audience) to perform this exercise and copies the nyc-taxi-data dataset to your local Amazon S3 bucket.

  • An Amazon S3 bucket

  • The appropriate Lake Formation settings

  • The appropriate Amazon EC2 resources

  • Three IAM roles with credentials

Create your resources

  1. Sign into the Amazon CloudFormation console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/cloudformation in the US East (N. Virginia) region.

  2. Choose Launch Stack.

  3. Choose Next.

  4. In the User Configuration section, enter password for three roles: DataStewardUserPassword, DataEngineerUserPassword and DataAnalystUserPassword.

  5. Review the details on the final page and select I acknowledge that Amazon CloudFormation might create IAM resources.

  6. Choose Create.

    The stack creation can take up to five minutes.

Note

After you complete the tutorial, you might want to delete the stack in Amazon CloudFormation to avoid continuing to incur charges. Verify that the resources are successfully deleted in the event status for the stack.
