BigQuery has announced that Analytics Hub egress controls and data clean room subscriptions are now available in all BigQuery editions and with on-demand pricing. This expansion significantly broadens access to these powerful data sharing and protection features.
About Analytics Hub Egress Controls
Analytics Hub egress controls provide publishers with options to restrict how subscribers can export data from BigQuery linked datasets. Publishers can restrict data egress on a listing, query results, or both.
When these restrictions are enabled, several capabilities are disabled, including:
- Copy, clone, export, and snapshot APIs
- Copy, clone, export, and snapshot options in the Google Cloud console
- Table explorer connections to restricted datasets
- BigQuery Data Transfer Service on restricted datasets
About Data Clean Rooms
BigQuery data clean rooms, built on the Analytics Hub platform, create security-enhanced environments for organizations to share, join, and analyze data assets without moving or revealing underlying data.
Unlike standard Analytics Hub data exchanges, data clean rooms are specifically designed for sensitive and protected data-sharing scenarios, offering additional security controls that protect data and enforce analysis rules defined by data owners.
The primary news is that these valuable features are now accessible across all BigQuery editions with on-demand pricing options.
