Generative AI Fundamentals

Generative AI has moved from emerging experiment to essential enterprise capability, powering everything from intelligent customer support to AI agents that automate complex workflows. 


Organizations that understand how to deploy it effectively—grounded in their own data and governed for trust—will be the ones setting the pace in their industries. But with new models releasing weekly and capabilities evolving fast, knowing how to evaluate and apply GenAI strategically matters more than chasing the latest release. Get up to speed on the fundamentals of Generative AI—what it can do, where it delivers real business value, and how to implement it securely on Databricks—with this free on-demand training.

Catalog Management and Data Organization

In this course, you will learn how to design, implement, and govern catalog structures and large-scale data organization on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. It offers a comprehensive view of Unity Catalog as the centralized governance layer for an enterprise lakehouse. Divided into five modules, it begins by placing Unity Catalog within the cloud deployment model — covering the Account Console, metastore creation, and the administrator role hierarchy. You will then translate organizational topology (business units, regions, and dev/QA/prod environments) into a scalable catalog and schema design using naming conventions, ownership patterns, and MANAGE delegation. The course then covers secure storage integration with storage credentials, external locations, the managed-storage hierarchy, managed versus external tables, and UC Volumes for non-tabular data. Next, you will apply access patterns and isolation strategies — the three-level GRANT chain, workspace-catalog binding, and schema-level Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) policies — to enforce fine-grained data protection at scale. Finally, the course closes with best practices for catalog design, automation, least-privilege permissions, and group-based access management.
