Steps overview: Integrate Databricks Unity Catalog via Edge
Tip
- In the latest UI, we support the integration of Databricks AI models via Edge. If you want to integrate Databricks AI models, make sure to enable AI Governance. If you don't enable AI Governance, the AI integration functionality is limited.
- To integrate source tags, additional permissions are needed.
The metadata synchronization for Databricks Unity Catalog uses compute clusters (SQL query compute warehouse) to collect source tags. To allow this, give the permissions:- CAN ATTACH TO
- CAN RESTART
To prevent clusters from running for the entire synchronization duration, you can configure the Terminate after ... minutes of inactivity setting in Databricks. The setting ensures that clusters automatically stop after a period of inactivity. For more information, go to the Databricks documentation.
