Ensure Glue jobs are configured with job bookmarks
Job bookmarks track processed data to prevent reprocessing and ensure exactly-once semantics in incremental ETL jobs.
Security Impact
Without bookmarks, jobs may reprocess data, causing duplicates, increased costs, and incorrect results.
How to Remediate
Enable job bookmarks for incremental ETL jobs. Configure appropriate bookmark keys based on data source characteristics.
