Exam DBDEA Topics: governance Difficulty: easy

During an architecture review, a new data engineer must explain how three Unity Catalog objects work together for cloud storage: the object that holds the IAM credential, the object that registers a storage path for external tables, and the object that gives notebooks governed access to files. Which explanation is correct?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. Volumes have replaced external locations entirely, so a single volume type now covers both the registration of storage paths for tables and practical access to files.
  2. B. Storage credentials point to the catalogs that use them and carry the privilege to run queries against those catalogs.
  3. C. External locations store the IAM credentials of every external table registered under them, one credential per table.
  4. D. Storage credentials hold the IAM credential, external locations register a storage path referencing it, and volumes give governed access to files.
