Govern LLMs in Unity Catalog with model services (Beta)
You can now govern Databricks-hosted LLMs in Unity Catalog using model services , currently in Beta. A model service is a Unity Catalog securable that represents a governed LLM endpoint, so you can define an endpoint once and share it across workspaces using Unity Catalog privileges, instead of duplicating endpoints per workspace.
Secrets in Unity Catalog (Public Preview)
You can now store, govern, and access secrets as securable objects in Unity Catalog. A Unity Catalog secret uses the three-level namespace ( catalog.schema.secret ) and is governed by Unity Catalog privileges, so you can apply the same access controls and auditing that you use for other data assets. See Secrets in Unity Catalog .
Request for Access will soon be enabled by default for all workspaces
In an upcoming release, Request for Access will be enabled by default for all workspaces, and access requests will be routed to the owner of the requested Unity Catalog object via email. You can configure access request destinations at any time in the metastore settings. The legacy workspace-level access request settings will be deprecated.
