Amazon S3 Tables can now record every request made to table buckets. The logs include who called, what operation, table name, namespace, response status and timing. Logs are written to a regular S3 bucket in the same account and region at no extra charge; you only pay for the log storage. The same space‑delimited format used for normal S3 buckets means existing Athena or DuckDB queries can be reused. The feature is available in all AWS regions that support S3 Tables and can be turned on via the console, CLI, SDKs or CloudFormation.
Why it matters
Security auditors can now track S3 Table access without additional logging costs.
