Getting Started with AWS Glue

AWS Glue is a full-managed, clusterless ETL service that allows you to quickly extract and prep data for a wide variety of use cases. In addition to ETL, Glue also allows you to build a data catalog, which makes your data searchable, queryable and available for ETL jobs.

If you are just getting started with AWS Glue, I have put together some resources to help you understand how it can used, as well as some training materials you can use to get up to speed quickly.
