Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now supports OpenLineage compatible data lineage in IAM-based domains, capturing lineage events from Apache Spark jobs run on Amazon EMR, AWS Glue, SageMaker Visual ETL, and notebooks. This capability is already available in IAM Identity Center-based domains. The interactive lineage graph provides an aggregate visual representation of how data moves from source to consumption, with configurable graph depth, event timestamp mode for detailed column-level lineage, and a dataset-only view for simplified visualization. For both IAM-based and IAM Identity Center-base

Why this matters
Why now
