Get Started with Databricks Platform Administration

In this course, you will learn the basics of platform administration on the Databricks Platform. It offers a comprehensive overview of the Unity Catalog, a vital component for effective data governance within Databricks environments. Divided into five modules, it begins with a detailed introduction to Databricks infrastructure and its platform, including an in-depth walkthrough of the Databricks Workspace. You will explore data governance principles within Unity Catalog, covering its key concepts, architecture, and roles. The course further emphasizes managing Unity Catalog metastores and compute resources, including classic compute and SQL warehouses. Finally, you'll master data access control by learning about privileges, fine-grained access, and how to govern data objects. By the end, you will be equipped with essential skills to administer the Unity Catalog to implement effective data governance, optimize compute resources, and enforce robust data security strategies. With the purchase of a Databricks Labs subscription, the course also closes out with a comprehensive lab exercise to practice what you’ve learned in a live Databricks Workspace environment.
