Usage

Define an S3 Table Bucket

from aws_cdk.aws_s3tables_alpha import UnreferencedFileRemoval
# Build a Table bucket
sample_table_bucket = TableBucket(scope, "ExampleTableBucket",
    table_bucket_name="example-bucket-1",
    # optional fields:
    unreferenced_file_removal=UnreferencedFileRemoval(
        status=UnreferencedFileRemovalStatus.ENABLED,
        noncurrent_days=20,
        unreferenced_days=20
    )
)

Define an S3 Tables Namespace

# Build a namespace
sample_namespace = Namespace(scope, "ExampleNamespace",
    namespace_name="example-namespace-1",
    table_bucket=table_bucket
)

Define an S3 Table

from aws_cdk.aws_s3tables_alpha import IcebergMetadataProperty, IcebergSchemaProperty, SchemaFieldProperty, SchemaFieldProperty, CompactionProperty, SnapshotManagementProperty
# Build a table
sample_table = Table(scope, "ExampleTable",
    table_name="example_table",
    namespace=namespace,
    open_table_format=OpenTableFormat.ICEBERG,
    without_metadata=True
)

# Build a table with an Iceberg Schema
sample_table_with_schema = Table(scope, "ExampleSchemaTable",
    table_name="example_table_with_schema",
    namespace=namespace,
    open_table_format=OpenTableFormat.ICEBERG,
    iceberg_metadata=IcebergMetadataProperty(
        iceberg_schema=IcebergSchemaProperty(
            schema_field_list=[SchemaFieldProperty(
                name="id",
                type="int",
                required=True
            ), SchemaFieldProperty(
                name="name",
                type="string"
            )
            ]
        )
    ),
    compaction=CompactionProperty(
        status=Status.ENABLED,
        target_file_size_mb=128
    ),

Advanced Iceberg Table Configuration

You can configure partition specifications, sort orders, and table properties for optimized query performance.

The simplest way to add partitioning to your table:

from aws_cdk.aws_s3tables_alpha import IcebergMetadataProperty, IcebergSchemaProperty, SchemaFieldProperty, SchemaFieldProperty, IcebergPartitionSpec, IcebergPartitionField
# Build a table with partition spec (minimal configuration)
partitioned_table = Table(scope, "PartitionedTable",
    table_name="partitioned_table",
    namespace=namespace,
    open_table_format=OpenTableFormat.ICEBERG,
    iceberg_metadata=IcebergMetadataProperty(
        iceberg_schema=IcebergSchemaProperty(
            schema_field_list=[SchemaFieldProperty(name="event_date", type="date", required=True), SchemaFieldProperty(name="event_name", type="string")
            ]
        ),
        iceberg_partition_spec=IcebergPartitionSpec(
            fields=[IcebergPartitionField(
                source_id=1,
                transform=IcebergTransform.IDENTITY,
                name="date_partition"
            )
            ]
        )
    )
)

For full control, you can also configure sort orders and table properties:

from aws_cdk.aws_s3tables_alpha import IcebergMetadataProperty, IcebergSchemaProperty, SchemaFieldProperty, SchemaFieldProperty, IcebergPartitionSpec, IcebergPartitionField, IcebergSortOrder, IcebergSortField, TablePropertyEntry
# Build a table with partition spec, sort order, and table properties
advanced_table = Table(scope, "AdvancedTable",
    table_name="advanced_table",
    namespace=namespace,
    open_table_format=OpenTableFormat.ICEBERG,
    iceberg_metadata=IcebergMetadataProperty(
        iceberg_schema=IcebergSchemaProperty(
            schema_field_list=[SchemaFieldProperty(id=1, name="event_date", type="date", required=True), SchemaFieldProperty(id=2, name="user_id", type="string", required=True)
            ]
        ),
        iceberg_partition_spec=IcebergPartitionSpec(
            spec_id=0,
            fields=[IcebergPartitionField(
                source_id=1,
                transform=IcebergTransform.IDENTITY,
                name="date_partition",
                field_id=1000
            )
            ]
        ),
        iceberg_sort_order=IcebergSortOrder(
            order_id=1,
            fields=[IcebergSortField(
                source_id=1,
                transform=IcebergTransform.IDENTITY,
                direction=SortDirection.ASC,
                null_order=NullOrder.NULLS_LAST
            )
            ]
        ),
        table_properties=[TablePropertyEntry(key="write.format.default", value="parquet")
        ]
    )
)

Controlling Table Bucket Permissions

# Grant the principal read permissions to the bucket and all tables within
account_id = "123456789012"
table_bucket.grant_read(iam.AccountPrincipal(account_id), "*")

# Grant the role write permissions to the bucket and all tables within
role = iam.Role(stack, "MyRole", assumed_by=iam.ServicePrincipal("sample"))
table_bucket.grant_write(role, "*")

# Grant the user read and write permissions to the bucket and all tables within
table_bucket.grant_read_write(iam.User(stack, "MyUser"), "*")

# Grant permissions to the bucket and a particular table within it
table_id = "6ba046b2-26de-44cf-9144-0c7862593a7b"
table_bucket.grant_read_write(iam.AccountPrincipal(account_id), table_id)

# Add custom resource policy statements
permissions = iam.PolicyStatement(
    effect=iam.Effect.ALLOW,
    actions=["s3tables:*"],
    principals=[iam.ServicePrincipal("example.aws.internal")],
    resources=["*"]
)

table_bucket.add_to_resource_policy(permissions)

Controlling Table Bucket Encryption Settings

S3 TableBuckets have SSE (server-side encryption with AES-256) enabled by default with S3 managed keys. You can also bring your own KMS key for KMS-SSE or have S3 create a KMS key for you.

If a bucket is encrypted with KMS, grant functions on the bucket will also grant access to the TableBucket's associated KMS key.

# Provide a user defined KMS Key:
key = kms.Key(scope, "UserKey")
encrypted_bucket = TableBucket(scope, "EncryptedTableBucket",
    table_bucket_name="table-bucket-1",
    encryption=TableBucketEncryption.KMS,
    encryption_key=key
)
# This account principal will also receive kms:Decrypt access to the KMS key
encrypted_bucket.grant_read(iam.AccountPrincipal("123456789012"), "*")

# Use S3 managed server side encryption (default)
encrypted_bucket_default = TableBucket(scope, "EncryptedTableBucketDefault",
    table_bucket_name="table-bucket-3",
    encryption=TableBucketEncryption.S3_MANAGED
)

When using KMS encryption (TableBucketEncryption.KMS), if no encryption key is provided, CDK will automatically create a new KMS key for the table bucket with necessary permissions.

# If no key is provided, one will be created automatically
encrypted_bucket_auto = TableBucket(scope, "EncryptedTableBucketAuto",
    table_bucket_name="table-bucket-2",
    encryption=TableBucketEncryption.KMS
)

Enabling CloudWatch Request Metrics

You can enable CloudWatch request metrics for your table bucket. Request metrics provide insight into Amazon S3 Tables requests, helping you monitor and optimize your table bucket usage.

For more information about S3 Tables CloudWatch metrics, see the S3 Tables CloudWatch Metrics documentation.

# Enable CloudWatch request metrics for the table bucket
table_bucket_with_metrics = TableBucket(scope, "TableBucketWithMetrics",
    table_bucket_name="metrics-enabled-bucket",
    request_metrics_status=RequestMetricsStatus.ENABLED
)

Controlling Table Permissions

# Grant the principal read permissions to the table
account_id = "123456789012"
table.grant_read(iam.AccountPrincipal(account_id))

# Grant the role write permissions to the table
role = iam.Role(stack, "MyRole", assumed_by=iam.ServicePrincipal("sample"))
table.grant_write(role)

# Grant the user read and write permissions to the table
table.grant_read_write(iam.User(stack, "MyUser"))

# Grant an account permissions to the table
table.grant_read_write(iam.AccountPrincipal(account_id))

# Add custom resource policy statements
permissions = iam.PolicyStatement(
    effect=iam.Effect.ALLOW,
    actions=["s3tables:*"],
    principals=[iam.ServicePrincipal("example.aws.internal")],
    resources=["*"]
)

table.add_to_resource_policy(permissions)

Tagging

Both TableBucket and Table support tagging through CDK's standard tagging mechanism:

Tags.of(table_bucket).add("Environment", "Production")
Tags.of(table).add("Team", "DataEngineering")

# Stack-level tags propagate to all resources
Tags.of(stack).add("Project", "DataLake")

Coming Soon

L2 Construct support for:

• KMS encryption support for Tables
