AWS Glue Data Catalog Gets Apache Iceberg Table Optimization in US West

AWS Glue Data Catalog now automatically optimizes Apache Iceberg tables in the US West (N. California) region, compacting small files and cleaning up snapshots in the background to boost query speed and cut storage costs. You can enable this feature per-table or across your entire catalog through the console, CLI, or SDKs—perfect for keeping your data lake lean without manual housekeeping.
