You start with creation of the IAM role which AWS Glue uses for the authorization to call other AWS Services.
-
Login to the AWS Console and select Ireland as the region.
-
Goto the IAM Management console and click on the Roles menu in the left and then click on the Create role button.
-
On the next screen, select Glue as the service and click on the Next: Permissions button.
-
On the next screen, select PowerUserAccess as the policy and click on the Next: Tags button. The exercise is using power user permission but in actual production use it is recommended to use minimum required permission only.
-
On the next screen, click on the Next: Review button.
-
On the next screen, type in dojo-glue-role for the Role name and click on the Create role button.
-
The roles is created in no time. In the next step, you launch Redshift Cluster and create a table in the database.
