The Sydney Databricks User Group hosted them. The event, sign-up page, and old form are closed. The [full event archive](/events/enterprise-governance-and-databricks-implementation/) keeps the old agenda. It also marks the limits of its claims. The source did not name the customer or show measured results. ## Two talks shared the meetup ### Unity Catalog governance Vinny Vijeyakumaar discussed rules for lake and warehouse data. The agenda named access control, data search, and lineage in Unity Catalog. ### R jobs migration Deon Jacobs spoke about moving a data-science team’s R jobs to Databricks.
