Security & Compliance Guide

This guide covers security best practices and compliance considerations for ETL migrations to AWS Glue.

IAM Security

Glue Job Execution Role

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "glue:*"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:glue:region:account:job/job-name"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name",
                "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Best practices:

• Use least privilege principle
• Scope permissions to specific resources
• Regularly audit permissions
• Use service roles
• Implement role separation

Data Access Controls

# Generate data access policies
iam_policies = agent.generate_iam_policies(analysis)

# Source data access
source_policy = iam_policies["source_access"]

# Target data access
target_policy = iam_policies["target_access"]

# CloudWatch logging
logging_policy = iam_policies["cloudwatch_access"]

Best practices:

• Control data access
• Encrypt sensitive data
• Monitor access patterns
• Implement logging
• Regular audits

Data Protection

Encryption Configuration

# Configure encryption for Glue job
glue_job = agent.generate_glue_job({
    "job": etl_job,
    "security": {
        "encryption": {
            "s3": {
                "mode": "SSE-KMS",
                "kms_key_id": "key-arn"
            },
            "cloudwatch": {
                "mode": "SSE-KMS",
                "kms_key_id": "key-arn"
            },
            "job_bookmarks": {
                "mode": "SSE-KMS",
                "kms_key_id": "key-arn"
            }
        }
    }
