Databricks Machine Learning Associate Question 476
Select 3A data science team is deciding whether to register their machine learning models in the Unity Catalog registry or the workspace-local model registry. They need to collaborate across multiple teams and ensure compliance with organizational data governance policies. What are the benefits of using the Unity Catalog registry in this scenario?
- A
Models registered in the Unity Catalog registry can be shared across multiple workspaces.
- B
The Unity Catalog registry provides fine-grained access control for model assets.
- C
The Unity Catalog registry allows versioning of models, whereas the workspace registry does not.
- D
Models in the Unity Catalog registry can be tied directly to Unity Catalog-managed tables and data lineage.
- E
The Unity Catalog registry supports model deployment to external environments, which the workspace registry does not.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
The Unity Catalog registry offers several advantages over the workspace-local registry, especially for organizations requiring cross-workspace collaboration, fine-grained access control, and tighter integration with data governance tools like Unity Catalog's data lineage. These features make it a better choice for teams working in regulated or distributed environments.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The Unity Catalog registry enables models to be shared across multiple workspaces, making it suitable for cross-team collaboration.
- B. Correct.
Correct. The Unity Catalog registry provides fine-grained access control, allowing organizations to enforce stricter governance policies.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Both the Unity Catalog and workspace registries support model versioning, so this is not a unique benefit of the Unity Catalog registry.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Models in the Unity Catalog registry can be integrated with Unity Catalog-managed tables, enabling data lineage tracking and governance.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Both the Unity Catalog and workspace registries support deployment to external environments, so this is not a distinguishing feature of the Unity Catalog registry.
