Story of a Unity Catalog (UC) Migration:  Using UCX at 7-Eleven to Reorient a Complex UC Migration

Unity Catalog (UC) enables governance and security for all data and AI assets within an enterprise’s data lake and is necessary to unlock the full potential of Databricks as a true Data Intelligence Platform. Unfortunately, UC migrations are non-trivial; especially for enterprises that have been using Databricks for more than five years, i.e., 7-Eleven. System Integrators (SIs) offer accelerators, guides, and services to support UC migrations; however, cloud infrastructure changes, anti-patterns within code, and data sprawl can significantly complicate UC migrations. There is no “shortcut” to success when planning and executing a complex UC migration. In this session, we will share how UCX by Databricks Labs, a UC Migration Assistant, allowed 7-Eleven to reorient their UC migration by leveraging assessments and workflows, etc., to assess, characterize, and ultimately plan a tenable approach for their UC migration.
