Which cluster security modes are compatible with Unity Catalog?
- A
Single user access mode
- B
Shared access mode
- C
Standard mode
- D
High Concurrency mode
- E
No isolation shared mode
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
Unity Catalog requires clusters to operate in modes that support user identity enforcement and governance. Single user access mode and shared access mode are designed to integrate with Unity Catalog's fine-grained access control and centralized governance, making them compatible with Unity Catalog. Other modes, such as standard mode, high concurrency mode, and no isolation shared mode, lack the necessary features to support Unity Catalog.
- A. Correct.
Single user access mode is compatible with Unity Catalog as it enforces a single identity for the user, enabling proper governance and fine-grained access control.
- B. Correct.
Shared access mode is compatible with Unity Catalog as it supports multiple users while maintaining governance through Unity Catalog.
- C. Incorrect.
Standard mode is not compatible with Unity Catalog because it does not enforce user isolation or proper governance required by Unity Catalog.
- D. Incorrect.
High Concurrency mode is not compatible with Unity Catalog as it is not designed to support Unity Catalog's governance and access control requirements.
- E. Incorrect.
No isolation shared mode is not compatible with Unity Catalog, as it lacks the security and isolation required for governance.
