AWS Glue Data Catalog Gets S3 Tables Export and KMS Support

AWS Glue Data Catalog now lets you export metadata directly to S3 Tables in Apache Iceberg format, so you can query, audit, and time-travel through your catalog's technical and business metadata using standard SQL in Athena, QuickSight, or third-party tools. The preview also expands semantic search support to catalogs encrypted with AWS KMS customer-managed keys, available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Ireland).
