Deprecation of Lake Formation’s Governed Tables Feature

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to end support for Governed Tables, effective December 31, 2024, to focus on open source transactional table formats such as Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi, and Linux Foundation Delta Lake. This decision stems from customer preference for these open source solutions, which offer ACID-compliant transactions, compaction, time travel, and other features previously provided by Governed Tables.
