Exam DBDEA Topics: governance Difficulty: hard

A platform team is designing file storage under Unity Catalog. Machine learning artifacts produced by Databricks jobs should live in storage that Unity Catalog fully controls, including deletion. A large reference dataset already sits in a bucket owned by another application, must stay there, and must never be deleted by Databricks. How should the team create the two volumes?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. Create both as external volumes, because Unity Catalog volumes must always reference paths governed by an external location.
  2. B. Create both as managed volumes, each with an explicit LOCATION clause that names its destination storage path.
  3. C. Create a managed volume for the artifacts and an external volume with LOCATION for the reference dataset.
  4. D. Create an external volume for the artifacts so that dropping it purges their files, and a managed volume for the reference dataset.

Correct answer: Create a managed volume for the artifacts and an external volume with LOCATION for the reference dataset.
