Overview

Welcome to LakeFormation. You can centrally manage the lifecycle of metadata in the data lake using the LakeFormation console and APIs, eliminating the need to use the SQL engine of big data clusters.

This document describes how to use application programming interfaces (APIs) to perform operations on LakeFormation, such as creating and deleting LakeFormation instances, metadata databases, and metadata tables.

For details about all supported operations, see API Overview.
