Demystifying Upgrading to Unity Catalog — Challenges, Design and Execution

Databricks Unity Catalog (UC) is the industry’s only unified and open governance solution for data and AI, built into the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. UC provides a single source of truth for organization’s data and AI, providing open connectivity to any data source, any format, lineage, monitoring and support for open sharing and collaboration. In this session we will discuss the challenges in upgrading to UC from your existing databricks Non-UC set up. We will discuss a few customer use cases and how we overcame difficulties and created a repeatable pattern and reusable assets to replicate the success of upgrading to UC across some of the largest databricks customers. It is co-presented with our partner Celebal Technologies.
