AWS Clean Rooms announces support for remote Apache Iceberg REST catalogs

AWS Clean Rooms Updates

AWS Clean Rooms now supports catalog federation for remote Iceberg catalogs, simplifying clean room setup by providing direct, secure access to Iceberg tables stored in Amazon S3 and cataloged in remote catalogs—without requiring table metadata replication.

Organizations can now use AWS Glue catalog federation to provide direct access to their existing Iceberg REST catalog in a Clean Rooms collaboration. This allows media publishers and advertisers to analyze their collective datasets to evaluate advertising spend without building ETL data pipelines or sharing underlying data.

What to do

• Utilize AWS Glue catalog federation for direct access to remote Iceberg catalogs in AWS Clean Rooms.
• Analyze collective datasets for better collaboration and insights.
