This tutorial uses Lake Formation’s tag-based access control to let a producer account publish tables and grant access to consumer accounts by attaching policy tags, rather than naming every resource in every grant.

It’s the technical backbone behind two earlier topics: Data Mesh: Decentralized Domain Ownership and Data Products & the Data Mesh Operating Model — domain ownership and federated governance made real as cross-account IAM and catalog permissions.
