+# Iceberg AWS Integrations
+
+Iceberg provides integration with different AWS services through the 
`iceberg-aws` module. 
+This section describes how to use Iceberg with AWS.
+
+## Runtime Packages
+
+The `iceberg-aws` module is bundled with Spark and Flink engine runtimes.
+However, the AWS clients are not bundled so that you can use the same version 
as your application.
+Please note that we use the new AWS v2 SDK instead of v1.
+You can choose to the [AWS SDK 
bundle](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/software.amazon.awssdk/bundle), 
+or individual AWS client packages (Glue, S3, DynamoDB, KMS) if you would like 
to have a minimum dependency footprint.
+
+For example, to use AWS features with Spark 3 and AWS clients version 2.15.40, 
you can start the SQL shell with:
+
+```sh
+spark-sql --packages 
org.apache.iceberg:iceberg-spark3-runtime:0.11.0,software.amazon.awssdk:bundle:2.15.40
 \
+    --conf spark.sql.catalog.my_catalog=org.apache.iceberg.spark.SparkCatalog \
+    --conf 
spark.sql.catalog.my_catalog.catalog-impl=org.apache.iceberg.aws.glue.GlueCatalog
 \
+    --conf spark.sql.catalog.my_catalog.warehouse=s3://my-bucket/my-key-prefix 
\
+    --conf spark.sql.catalog.my_catalog.gluecatalog.lock.table=myGlueLockTable
+```
+
+## Glue Catalog
+
+Iceberg enables the use of [AWS Glue](https://aws.amazon.com/glue) as the 
`Catalog` implementation.
+When used, an Iceberg `Namespace` is stored as a [Glue 
Database](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/aws-glue-api-catalog-databases.html),
 
+an Iceberg `Table` is stored as a [Glue 
Table](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/aws-glue-api-catalog-tables.html),
+an Iceberg `Snapshot` is stored as a [Glue 
TableVersion](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/aws-glue-api-catalog-tables.html#aws-glue-api-catalog-tables-TableVersion).
 
+You can start using Glue catalog by specifying the `catalog-impl` as 
`org.apache.iceberg.aws.glue.GlueCatalog`. 
+More details about loading the catalog can be found in individual engine 
pages, such as [Spark](../spark/#loading-a-custom-catalog) and 
[Flink](../flink/#creating-catalogs-and-using-catalogs).
+
+### Glue Catalog ID
+
+You can specify the Glue catalog ID through `gluecatalog.id` catalog property 
to point to a Glue catalog in a different AWS account.
+The Glue catalog ID is your numeric AWS account ID.
+If the Glue catalog is in a different region, you should configure you AWS 
client to point to the correct region, 
+see more details in [AWS client configuration](#aws-client-configurations).
+
+### Skip Archive
+
+By default, Glue will store all the table versions created and user can 
rollback a table to any historical version if needed.
+However, if you are streaming data to Iceberg, this will easily create a lot 
of Glue table versions.
+Therefore, it is recommended to turn off the archive feature in Glue by 
setting `gluecatalog.skip-archive` to false.
+For more details, please read [Glue 
Quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/glue.html) and the 
[UpdateTable 
API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/webapi/API_UpdateTable.html).
+
+### DynamoDB for locking Glue tables
+
+Glue does not have a strong guarantee over concurrent updates to a table. 
+Although it throws `ConcurrentModificationException` when detecting two 
processes updating a table at the same time,
+there is no guarantee that one update would not clobber the other update.
+Therefore, DynamoDB lock is enabled by default for Glue, so that for every 
commit, 
+`GlueCatalog` first obtains a lock using a helper DynamoDB table and then try 
to safely modify the Glue table.
+User must specify a table name through catalog property 
`gluecatalog.lock.table` as the helper DynamoDB lock table to use.
+It is recommend to use the same DynamoDB table for operations in the same Glue 
catalog,
+and use a different table for a different Glue catalog in another account or 
region.
+If the lock table with the given name does not exist in DynamoDB, a new table 
is created with billing mode set as 
[Pay-per-Request](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-dynamodb-on-demand-no-capacity-planning-and-pay-per-request-pricing).
+The lock has the following additional properties:
+
+* `gluecatalog.lock.wait-ms`:  max time to wait for lock acquisition, defaults 
to 3 minutes
+* `gluecatalog.lock.expire-ms`: max time a table can be locked by a process, 
defaults to 20 minutes

Review comment:
       What about `lock-wait-ms` and `lock-expire-ms`?
