TYSM for putting this out. I was struggling to stitch it all together by reading the documentation, but so many details were still unclear. Documentation is still written as if it were 1995, prioritizing exhaustiveness of option descriptions over clarity. Step-by-step tutorials like these are priceless and should be included by editors because it's a real pain in the butt to go through Russian doll documentation pages, get lost, and waste 6 hours of trial and error just to set up an option correctly.
Hi, First of all, thank you so much for your training-it was excellent and well-organized! I followed the same steps as you demonstrated. I created a free account and have global administrator access. However, on Azure Databricks, when I click the drop-down on my email, I don’t see any options. I’d really appreciate your support on this. Best regards,
How would this implementation play out when you need the underlying data to be stored across different environment locations? Like a dev/uat/prd? Creating the single metastore means that all underlying managed files are created in that one location. Would you skip providing the ADLS Gen 2 path (@ 9:57) and then provide each location when creating the catalog itself? That part is not clear to me...
Great video, thanks! I found various documents for different tasks mentioned here; but it was a pain to resolve what I was missing. Thanks to this video, I was able to find what I was missing. Is there a single Azure Databricks document that explains the whole flow?
Yes this is true, however it's a slow rollout. Even still, there will still be use cases to create your own storage account and provision your own unity catalog metastore. The only difference to the process in the video will be to first delete the automatically created metastore.
That's for a really clear and straight forward tutorial. The one question that nagged me though (and you have may have touched on it, but I missed it), is why we are creating an additional storage account and account connector when one already appears to exist in the managed resource group that is generated when you created the initial premium workspace. I even saw in your tutorial when I re-watched it, the drop-down menus referenced the ones (storage account and access connector) that were already available in addition to the ones you created. Is there anything wrong with using the ones the Storage Account and Access Connector that were already created on your behalf as opposed to re-creating your own in order to enable UC? Or is it a best practice to create additional separate resources for UC enablement rather than using what exists?
This is amazing, end-end show of how this complex stuff works. Is this the same if we already have a databricks workspace (premium tier) with no Unit Catalog? 1. we just have to create Access Connector Resource object 2. Do the same steps as recommmended here. Kindly confirm.
Amazing man. Your explanation and demo are clear. Keep going don’t stop.
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. So clear and step-by-step. I found the Databricks instruction pages very difficult to comprehend.
Superb tutorial. Really very helpful
Awesome! Detailed explanation but still clean and concise, thank you.
Great Explanation, clear and informative. Thank You.
Working on this in Terraform and this video demonstrates steps very well. Great help, thanks :)

the point on adding role 'account admin' to user through account portal helped to find the root cause, thank you for sharing :)
Amazing tutorial and demo. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for informative videos!

Well explained. Thanks for sharing.
Nice explanation, great!
Thanks a lot from sharing your knowledge
Great, thanks a lot! Very clear. If that's possible could you make a guide how to do all the deployments and enabling Unity Catalog using Terraform?
AMAZING THANK YOU BROTHER
I am using my personal subscripton, I did all 5 steps as suggested. When I come to my databricks workspace I do not see Account console
Very helpful, thx!

Can we enable unity catalog in trial account I followed all steps but i can not see admin console option or manage account option in Databricks
Well Explained !! Very Useful. Kindly try to make the video bit clear vision. Thanks :)
we should create all those things in the same region?
Hi ,
I want to understand how much your Azure account is costing , how can I set it up? Also databricks account cost.
From Nov 2023, by default Azure is enabling all workspaces with Unity catalog, I saw it in MSft documentation
Yes this is true, however it's a slow rollout. Even still, there will still be use cases to create your own storage account and provision your own unity catalog metastore. The only difference to the process in the video will be to first delete the automatically created metastore.
@@pathfinder-analytics100% agree.
For now manual configuration is still needed.
Hey, Nice video, is it possible to use the access connector and datalake automatically created with workspace or we leave it alone and why?
That's for a really clear and straight forward tutorial. The one question that nagged me though (and you have may have touched on it, but I missed it), is why we are creating an additional storage account and account connector when one already appears to exist in the managed resource group that is generated when you created the initial premium workspace.

Or is it a best practice to create additional separate resources for UC enablement rather than using what exists?
I am not able to see "Add a Catalog" option in my databricks workspace. Can anyone tell me what to do?
Gracis
This is amazing, end-end show of how this complex stuff works.
Is this the same if we already have a databricks workspace (premium tier) with no Unit Catalog?
1. we just have to create Access Connector Resource object
2. Do the same steps as recommmended here.
Kindly confirm.
Yes
I have enabled the unity catalog on my workspace, but I am not able to see mosiac vector search in catalog. Is there any additional step for it?
Thank you so much...
I am self the owner of the Databricks service, but I can't see any Admin Setttings. Where I can this enable ?
manage account option is not available for my databricks workspace eventhough iam a global admin
I just setup and don't see the admin console as well
The same issue
the same problem
you can't in free trail
@@CodeVeda the same problem here and i'm not using the trial version
nice video
Unity catalog can't be enabled for the hive_metastore, that's there by default?
Nope.
