Share online feature groups with Amazon Resource Access Manager

With Amazon Resource Access Manager (Amazon RAM) you can securely share Amazon SageMaker Feature Store online feature groups with other Amazon Web Services accounts. Members of your team can explore and access feature groups that span multiple accounts, promoting data consistency, streamlining collaboration, and reducing duplication of effort.

The resource owner account can share resources with other individual Amazon Web Services accounts by granting permissions using Amazon RAM. The resource consumer account is the Amazon Web Services account with whom a resource is shared, limited by the permissions granted from the resource owner account. If you are an organization, you may want to take advantage of Amazon Organizations, with which you can share resources with individual Amazon Web Services accounts, with all accounts in your organization, or in an Organization Unit (OU), without having to apply permissions to each account. For instructional videos and more information about Amazon RAM concepts and benefits, see What is Amazon Resource Access Manager? in the Amazon RAM User Guide.

Note that there is a soft maximum limit to the transactions per second (TPS) per API per Amazon Web Services account. The maximum TPS limit applies to all transactions on the resources within the resource owner account, so transactions from the resource consumer accounts also count towards this maximum limit. For information about service quotas and how to request a quota increase, see Amazon service quotas.

This section covers how the resource owner account can choose feature groups and grant access privileges (read-only, read-write, and admin) to resource consumer accounts, and then how the resource consumer accounts with access privileges can use those feature groups. The access permissions do not allow for the resource consumer accounts to search and discover feature groups. To allow for resource consumer accounts to search and discover feature groups from the resource owner account, the resource owner account must grant discoverability permission to the resource consumer accounts, where all of the feature groups within the resource owner account are discoverable by the resource consumer accounts. For more information about granting the discoverability permission, see Enabling cross account discoverability.
