Segment Data Lakes provide a way to collect large quantities of data in a format that's optimized for targeted data science and data analytics workflows. You can read [more information about Data Lakes](/docs/connections/storage/data-lakes/) and learn [how they differ from Warehouses](/docs/connections/storage/data-lakes/comparison/) in our documentation.

You can use the [open source Terraform module](https://github.com/segmentio/terraform-aws-data-lake) to automate much of the set up work to get Data Lakes up and running. If you’re familiar with Terraform, you can modify the module to meet your organization’s needs, however Segment guarantees support only for the template as provided. The Data Lakes set up uses Terraform v0.11+. To support more versions of Terraform, the aws provider must use v2, which is included in our example main.tf.

The Terraform module and manual set up instructions both provide a base level of permissions to Segment (for example, the correct IAM role to allow Segment to create Glue databases on your behalf). If you want stricter permissions, or other custom configurations, you can customize these manually.

AWS Lake Formation is a fully managed service built on top of the AWS Glue Data Catalog that provides one central set of tools to securely build and manage a Data Lake. The tools fall into one of two categories: setup and data management and security management. Setup and data management tools help import, catalog, transform, and deduplicate data, and optimize your storage and security. Security management tools help you to define and enforce encryption and access controls and implement audit logging.

<!--add description of how the security works, because the secure aspect is a big selling point-->

The security policies in Lake Formation use two layers of permissions: each resource is protected by Lake Formation permissions and IAM permissions. When any user or role reads or writes to a resource, that action must pass a both a Lake Formation and an IAM resource check. For more information about security practices in Lake Formation, see Amazon's [Lake Formation Permissions Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/latest/dg/lf-permissions-reference.html) documentation.

## Configuring Lake Formation
1212
You can configure Lake Formation using the [`IAMAllowedPrincipals` group](#configuring-lake-formation-using-the-iamallowedprincipals-group) or by [using IAM policies for access control](#configuring-lake-formation-using-iam-policies). Configuring Lake Formation using the `IAMAllowedPrincipals` group is an easier method, recommended for those exploring Lake Formation. Setting up using IAM policies for access control is a more advanced setup option, recommended for those who want additional customization options.
