AWS Clean Rooms now lets users add Databricks tables directly to a collaboration. The feature works through Delta Sharing, so members supply a workspace URL, schema and table name. Before, users had to export data to Amazon S3, creating extra pipelines and copies. With the new support, a retailer can run joint analysis with a media partner on customer data stored in Databricks without moving it.

## The facts

- Announcement date: 2026-10-20 (“Tue Oct 20 2026 14:23:00 GMT+0200”).
- Databricks joins AWS Glue, Snowflake and Amazon Athena as supported sources in AWS Clean Rooms.
