2025/05/20 - AWS Glue - 1 updated api methods
Changes Enhanced AWS Glue ListConnectionTypes API Model with additional metadata fields.
{'ConnectionTypes': {'Categories': ['string'], 'ConnectionTypeVariants': [{'ConnectionTypeVariantName': 'string', 'Description': 'string', 'DisplayName': 'string', 'LogoUrl': 'string'}], 'DisplayName': 'string', 'LogoUrl': 'string', 'Vendor': 'string'}}
The ListConnectionTypes API provides a discovery mechanism to learn available connection types in Glue. The response contains a list of connection types with high-level details of what is supported for each connection type. The connection types listed are the set of supported options for the ConnectionType value in the CreateConnection API.
