SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Register an external data source with AWS Glue so downstream skills (ingesting-into-data-lake) can move data from it. A Glue connection stores the network config, driver, and credential reference for one source. Create once per source, reuse across jobs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover existing Glue connections and candidate data sources
  • Create, register, and secure credentials for Glue connections (Secrets Manager or IAM auth)
  • Validate network accessibility and perform end-to-end tests
  • Manage VPC/subnet configurations and test connectivity

Quick Start

Register and test a new Glue connection for your data source.

Frequently Asked Questions about connecting-to-data-source

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an AWS Glue connection to a JDBC data source?▼

To create an AWS Glue connection to a JDBC data source, you register the network configuration, driver, and credential reference for the source. This allows you to reuse the connection across jobs for downstream data-lake workflows.

Which data sources are supported for Glue connection registration?▼

Supported data sources for Glue connection registration include JDBC sources like Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, MySQL, RDS, as well as Redshift, Snowflake, and BigQuery. The process covers discovery, credential handling, and testing for these platforms.

How do I securely manage credentials when setting up a Glue connection?▼

Securely manage credentials for a Glue connection by using AWS Secrets Manager or IAM authentication. The registration process enforces specific steps for dependency checks and credential security to ensure reliable data source access.

How do I validate network accessibility for a Glue connection?▼

Validate network accessibility for a Glue connection by managing VPC and subnet configurations and performing end-to-end testing. The process includes guidance on troubleshooting to ensure your data source is reachable from AWS Glue.

Why is my Glue connection to an external data source not working?▼

A Glue connection to an external data source may not work due to VPC configuration issues, credential failures, or missing dependency checks. Troubleshooting involves validating network accessibility and performing end-to-end connection tests.

What's the best way to reuse a Glue connection across multiple data-lake jobs?▼

The best way to reuse a Glue connection across multiple data-lake jobs is to register and validate it once per data source. Storing the network config, driver, and credential reference centrally allows downstream skills to reliably move data.
