This hands-on course explores how to achieve seamless data interoperability between systems using Databricks Unity Catalog as a unified governance layer, using both Delta and Iceberg open table formats. Participants will learn to implement, manage and optimize a data environment where tables can be accessed by both Delta and Iceberg clients, enabling cross platform analytics and eliminating data silos. Prerequisites - Basic understanding of Lakehouse and Medallion architecture - Familiarity with Unity Catalog fundamentals for governance - Familiarity with designing or developing ETL pipelines using Databricks - Basic SQL proficiency for querying and transforming data - Basic understanding of Delta and open table format concepts Note: Hands-on training courses will be updated to reflect the newest product and feature announcements from Data + AI Summit in June 2026.

This hands-on course provides a comprehensive foundation for managing governed data environments using Unity Catalog. It is designed for data engineers, platform administrators, and analytics engineers responsible for organizing, securing, and operationalizing data at scale across modern Lakehouse architectures.The course begins with an overview of Unity Catalog’s role within a cloud deployment, including how it integrates with account-level architecture and administrative responsibilities. You will explore how metastores are created and configured, how workspaces are attached, and how governance boundaries are established across environments. Through guided exercises, you will learn how data is logically and physically organized, including the use of object storage, managed and external locations, and secure access patterns for underlying storage systems.As the course progresses, you will design and implement effective data organization strategies using catalogs and schemas, translating business structures such as business units, regions, and environments into scalable naming conventions and governance models. You will apply fine-grained access control using Unity Catalog’s…
