Hey @David Garcia, are you looking to create a new S3 bucket for the glue table?

If so, u can try this:
Copy code
import * as glue from "@aws-cdk/aws-glue-alpha";
import * as sst from "@serverless-stack/resources";
const bucket = new sst.Bucket(this, "Bucket", {...});
const table = new glue.Table(this, "GlueTable", {
bucket: bucket.s3Bucket,
});d

In this case, u can reference the bucket from the other stack directly. Here’s an example of sharing resources across stacks https://docs.serverless-stack.com/advanced/cross-stack-references#adding-a-reference

I see. I don’t know enough about Glue. But from reading the docs, if u want to pass in a bucket from another stack to the consturctor of the Glue table, the above link should help.
