Amazon Redshift data sharing governed through AWS Lake Formation is now available in 11 additional regions

[AWS Lake Formation](https://aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/)’s centralized access control and permission for [Amazon Redshift](https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/) data sharing is now available in 11 additional regions. You can manage permission grants, view access controls, and audit permissions on the tables and views in the Redshift datashares using Lake Formation APIs and the AWS Management Console. Furthermore, Lake Formation supports trusted identity propagation with AWS IAM Identity Center, allowing you to leverage Lake Formation to manage permissions to datashares for specific users and groups defined in your Identity Provider (IdP). AWS Lake Formation managed data sharing improves the security of your data by enabling data lake administrators in Lake Formation to manage granular entitlements such as table-level, column-level, or row-level access to tables and views being shared in Redshift data sharing. You can also apply [AWS Lake Formation tag-based access control](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/latest/dg/tag-based-access-control.html) to Redshift data sharing, which simplifies management of data access across multiple AWS services and accounts through centralized tag-based policies. With trusted identity propagation, end-users' access and actions are authorized based on their user and group memberships when they query the data sharing from a consumer data warehouse.
