Advancing Spark - Setting up Databricks Unity Catalog Environments

Unity Catalog is a huge part of Databrick's platform, if you're currently using Databricks but you don't have UC enabled, you're going to be missing out on some pretty huge features in the future! But where do you start? Do you really need a Global AD Admin, and how what do they have to do? How do you manage dev, test and prod if they all have to share the same metastore?!?

In this video Simon takes two existing databricks workspaces and builds out Unity Catalog from scratch, provisioning account console access, creating a metastore, allocating access for the managed identity and locking down catalogs to their respective workspaces. Want to get started with UC, check this video out!
