What problem does it solve?

Unity Catalog governance for enterprise data assets, enabling centralized control over catalogs, schemas, and data assets across environments and domains.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Environment & Domain Strategy: Design and implement environment-based, domain-based, or hybrid Unity Catalog structures to match organizational boundaries and data mesh ambitions.
• Access Control & ABAC: Define RBAC/ABAC policies, implement Row Filters, Column Masks, and governance tags to enforce data protection and compliance.
• External Collaboration & Federation: Plan for external locations, Delta Sharing, and Lakehouse Federation to securely share data with partners.
• Migration & IaC: Provide migration plans from Hive Metastore to UC and manage UC resources with Terraform IaC, including monitoring via System Tables.
• AI/ML Asset Management: Scope ML model registries, feature stores, and volumes within UC for end-to-end governance.

Quick Start

Draft a Unity Catalog governance design for your data platform, covering environment/domain structure, access controls, and migration considerations.

Propose and implement a Unity Catalog governance design for your data platform and validate environment/domain structure. It should address environment and domain separation, ABAC/Row Filter/Column Mask, external sharing, and Terraform-based provisioning. Ensure alignment with system tables monitoring and Delta Sharing integration.
