Overview

This course offers data engineers more experience with watsonx.data on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. You gain knowledge in areas such as user and group management, access controls within watsonx.data, integrating IBM Knowledge Catalog with watsonx.data, and what the integration with IBM Knowledge Catalog provides. You gain skills in access control, IBM Knowledge Catalog policies, and how to manage watsonx.data after integration with IBM Knowledge Catalog is in place.

The course is designed to build upon the watsonx.data intermediate course and goes into more depth in the data governance area of watsonx.data. Integration between watsonx.data and IBM Knowledge Catalog allows you to manage data within the Data Lakehouse and other data sources with a single data governance product. This integration ensures that all data is governed within a centralized data governance product.

Audience
