Create a new environment - Amazon DataZone

Create a new environment

In Amazon DataZone projects, environments are collections of configured resources (for example, an Amazon S3 bucket, an AWS Glue database, or an Amazon Athena workgroup), with a given set of IAM principals (environment user roles) with assigned owner or contributor permissions who can operate on those resources. For more information, see Amazon DataZone terminology and concepts.

Any Amazon DataZone user with the required permissions to access the data portal can create an Amazon DataZone environment within a project.

To create a new environment, complete the following steps.

  1. Navigate to the Amazon DataZone data portal URL and sign in using single sign-on (SSO) or your AWS credentials. If you’re an Amazon DataZone administrator, you can navigate to the Amazon DataZone console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/datazone and sign in with the AWS account where the domain was created, then choose Open data portal.

  2. Choose Browse all projects and select the project in which you want to create a new environment.

  3. Choose Create environment, specify values for the following fields, and then choose Create environment:

    • Name – the environment name

    • Description – a description of the environment

    • Environment profile – choose an existing environment profile or create a new one. An environment profile is a template that you can use to create environments. For more information, see Amazon DataZone terminology and concepts.

      Once you've selected the environment profile, under the Parameters section, specify the values for the fields that are part of this environment profile.
