- B
Shared
- C
High Concurrency
- D
Standard
- E
No Isolation
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
Unity Catalog requires clusters to operate in security modes that ensure proper access controls and user isolation. Single User and High Concurrency modes are explicitly compatible with Unity Catalog as they support secure user isolation and credential passthrough. Other modes, such as Shared, Standard, or No Isolation, do not meet these requirements.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Single User mode is compatible with Unity Catalog because it ensures that the cluster is tied to a single user, allowing Unity Catalog to enforce access controls effectively.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Shared mode is not compatible with Unity Catalog because it does not provide the necessary isolation or security controls required for Unity Catalog.
- C. Correct.
Correct. High Concurrency mode is compatible with Unity Catalog as it supports credential passthrough and secure user isolation, which are critical for Unity Catalog functionality.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Standard mode is not compatible with Unity Catalog because it lacks the necessary security features and is not explicitly supported.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. No Isolation mode is not compatible with Unity Catalog because it does not provide secure isolation or credential passthrough required for Unity Catalog to enforce access controls.
