- B
Enable the 'Use Unity Catalog' option in the cluster configuration.
- C
Attach a UC-enabled workspace to the cluster.
- D
Ensure the cluster runtime version is 11.3 LTS or higher.
- E

Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, D
Explanation
To ensure a Databricks all-purpose cluster is Unity Catalog-enabled, you must enable the 'Use Unity Catalog' option in the cluster configuration. Additionally, the cluster runtime version must be 11.3 LTS or higher, as Unity Catalog is only supported on this runtime or later versions. Other steps, such as assigning policies or granting metastore access, are important for governance and access control but do not directly enable Unity Catalog on the cluster.
- A. Incorrect.
Assigning a cluster policy can enforce various configurations, but it is not a mandatory step to enable Unity Catalog on the cluster.
- B. Correct.
The 'Use Unity Catalog' option must be explicitly enabled in the cluster configuration for the cluster to be UC-enabled.
- C. Incorrect.
Workspaces are not directly attached to clusters; instead, they are linked to the metastore. This step is not relevant to enabling UC for a cluster.
- D. Correct.
Unity Catalog requires a cluster running Databricks Runtime version 11.3 LTS or higher, as it is the minimum supported runtime version for UC.
- E. Incorrect.
Granting metastore access to users is necessary for working with Unity Catalog but is not a required step to make a cluster UC-enabled.
