Amazon Athena now offers managed connectors for 12 data sources, including Amazon DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Snowflake. Managed connectors are AWS Glue Data Catalog federated connectors that Athena creates and manages on your behalf, so you can query data outside Amazon S3 without deploying or maintaining connector resources in your AWS account.
With Athena, you can interactively query relational, non-relational, object, and custom data sources without moving or duplicating data. To get started with managed connectors, you create a connection for your data source in Athena. Athena automatically sets up and manages connector resources on your behalf, registering the data source as a federated catalog in AWS Glue Data Catalog. You can then query the data source alongside your Amazon S3 data and optionally set up fine-grained access controls through AWS Lake Formation.
Federated queries with managed connectors are available in all AWS Regions where Athena is available, except the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions.
