Technical requirements

In the last section of this chapter, we will go through a hands-on exercise that uses Amazon Glue to read data, and write the data out using the Apache Iceberg table format.

As with the other hands-on activities in this book, if you have access to an administrator user in your AWS account, you should have the permissions needed to complete these activities. If not, you will need to ensure that your user is granted access to create and run AWS Glue jobs, and to read and write data from Amazon S3.

You can find the SQL statements that we run in the hands-on activity section of this chapter in the GitHub repository for this book, using the following link: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Data-Engineering-with-AWS-2nd-edition/tree/main/Chapter14.
