With existing integrations and new SaaS systems, a new perspective is needed through data fabric. In this course, Data Fabric: Capabilities, Patterns, and Automation, Carved Rocks IT management will gain insights into a metadata-driven approach to make data more readily available and secure while staying compliant. First, you'll explore the definitions for key components such as data catalogs, lineage tools, metadata knowledge, policy engines, and orchestration layers. Next, you'll discover the differences between traditional integrations and the future of virtualizing the data sources not already in a data warehouse through semantic design. Finally, automation of these options will be explained and demonstrated to help with data masking, row and object level security, and policy enforcements. When you finish this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of data fabric needed to understand the capabilities, patterns, and automation
