registerConnectionType

Registers a custom connection type in Glue based on the configuration provided. This operation enables customers to configure custom connectors for any data source with REST-based APIs, eliminating the need for building custom Lambda connectors.

The registered connection type stores details about how requests and responses are interpreted by REST sources, including connection properties, authentication configuration, and REST configuration with entity definitions. Once registered, customers can create connections using this connection type and work with them the same way as natively supported Glue connectors.

Supports multiple authentication types including Basic, OAuth2 (Client Credentials, JWT Bearer, Authorization Code), and Custom Auth configurations.
