Amazon Athena adds support for managing Athena Workgroups using AWS CloudFormation

Amazon Athena now enables customers to create and update Athena Workgroups using the AWS CloudFormation AWS::Athena::Workgroup resource.

AWS CloudFormation templates help customers to provision and configure their AWS resources. Athena Workgroups help customers to isolate different workloads and set up cost controls. Previously, to create or update a workgroup, customers had to either use the Athena console, or Athena APIs. With this release, customers can create and update their Athena Workgroups using the AWS CloudFormation AWS::Athena::Workgroup resource.

Please see our documentation for detailed information and usage examples. For more information about Athena Workgroups, please visit our documentation.
