Exam DBDEA Topics: governance Difficulty: medium

A company runs five Databricks workspaces, all in the AWS region us-east-1, and wants every workspace to see the same Unity Catalog catalogs, such as main and finance, so that grants and data stay consistent across teams. The platform lead is documenting how the Unity Catalog metastore is organized for this deployment. Which statement is correct?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. Unity Catalog uses one metastore per account per region; all workspaces in us-east-1 attach to it and share its catalogs.
  2. B. Each workspace hosts its own metastore, and administrators can optionally configure replication between the metastores.
  3. C. Unity Catalog creates one metastore per catalog rather than per region, so the main and finance catalogs would each get their own metastore.
  4. D. Best practice is to create several metastores in the same region and assign a dedicated one to each workspace.
