How to get ARN for Lake Formation Table?

0

I'm trying to use table ARN in aws lakeformation describe-resource . However, when building ARN like recommended

table_arn = f"arn:aws:lakeformation:{region}:{account_id}:table/{database_name}/{table_name}"

I'm, getting the following error:

An error occurred (InvalidInputException) when calling the DescribeResource operation: Un-supported resource arn format

What is wrong with ARN formatting I'm using?

To get the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) for a Lake Formation table in AWS, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the AWS Management Console and navigate to the Lake Formation service.
  2. In the Lake Formation console, select "Tables" from the left-hand menu.
  3. Locate the table for which you want to retrieve the ARN and click on its name.
  4. On the table details page, you should find the ARN listed under the "Details" section or a similar heading.
  5. Alternatively, you can use the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to retrieve the ARN. Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command, replacing "table-name" with the name of your Lake Formation table:

aws lakeformation describe-table --database-name your-database-name --table-name table-name Look for the "TableArn" attribute in the command output to find the ARN of the specified table.

The ARN will be in the following format: arn:aws:lakformation:<region>:<account-id>:table/<database-name>/<table-name>. It uniquely identifies the Lake Formation table within your AWS account and can be used for various purposes, such as granting permissions, referencing the table in other AWS services, or integrating with third-party tools.

Let me know if this helps.

    Hi, thank you for a prompt answer, but unfortunately neither of solution works : 1.) There is no ARN in "Detail" section. 2.) There is no describe-table operation : aws lakeformation describe-table returns :

    aws lakeformation describe-table --database-name test_lakeformation --table-name test_table

usage: aws [options] <command> <subcommand> [<subcommand> ...] [parameters]
To see help text, you can run:

  aws help
  aws <command> help
  aws <command> <subcommand> help

aws: error: argument operation: Invalid choice, valid choices are:

add-lf-tags-to-resource                  | assume-decorated-role-with-saml         
batch-grant-permissions                  | batch-revoke-permissions

    Could you please post the below query answer?

    1. aws lakeformation describe-table
    2. aws lakeformation
    3. aws lakeformation describe-table --database-name test_lakeformation
