There are two types of cross-account access

1. Storage cross-account access (S3 bucket is in a different account than the Lake Formation account)

2. Consumption cross-account access (Athena, Redshift Spectrum in a different account than the Lake Formation account)

In this guide, we will discuss the consumption cross-account access, enable cross-account Lake Formation access and use a lambda in Account-Target to execute a simple Athena query to access the data from Account-Source.
