AWS Glue

AWS Glue is a serverless, cloud-optimized, and fully managed ETL service that provides automatic schema inference for your structured and semi-structured datasets. AWS Glue helps you understand your data, suggests transformations, and generates ETL scripts so that you don't need to do any ETL development.

You can also set up AWS Glue for running your ETL jobs, automatically provisioning and scaling the resources needed to complete them. You can point AWS Glue to your data that's stored on different AWS services such as S3, RDS, and Redshift. It finds out what your data is. It stores the related metadata, such as schemas and table definitions, in the AWS Glue Data Catalog.

Once your data is cataloged, you can start using it for different kinds of data analysis. For executing data transformations and data loading processes, AWS Glue generates code.

First, let's understand the major components of AWS Glue, which might be new to the students:
