Data Governance at Scale
In this course, you will learn how to implement data governance at scale on Databricks using Unity Catalog, with a focus on attribute-based access control, observability, and federated sharing. You will configure ABAC with governed tags, migrate from legacy fine-grained controls, enable and use system tables for audit and cost monitoring, deploy Lakehouse Monitoring for data and model quality, interpret lineage for impact and compliance, and apply federated governance and Delta Sharing patterns for secure cross-cloud collaboration.
Note: Databricks Academy is transitioning to a notebook-based format for classroom sessions within the Databricks environment, discontinuing the use of slide decks for lectures. You can access the lecture notebooks in the Vocareum lab environment.
