<a name="connecting-to-data-vertica"></a>

 AWS Glue provides built-in support for Vertica. AWS Glue Studio provides a visual interface to connect to Vertica, author data integration jobs, and run them on the AWS Glue Studio serverless Spark runtime. 

 AWS Glue Studio creates a unified connection for Vertica. For more information, see [Considerations](using-connectors-unified-connections.md#using-connectors-unified-connections-considerations).

You can provide advanced options when creating a Vertica node. These options are the same as those available when programming AWS Glue for Spark scripts.
