Does Azure Purview have Federated Data Catalogue capability?

Question

I am exploring options to create a data mesh using Azure native services and need a Federated Data Catalogue.Could the following be accomplished:

• Create the Azure Data Platform 1 with Purview Data Catalogue 1 cataloging the related data assets
• Create the Azure Data Platform 2 with Purview Data Catalogue 2 cataloging the related data assets
• Create a Federated Azure Purview Data Catalogue 3 where Purview Data Catalogue 1 & 2 synchs its contents automatically to Purview Data Catalogue 3.
• Allow users to search all the company assets from Purview Data Catalogue 3 and request access to the data from Azure Data Platform 1 or Azure Data Platform 2 to consume the data.

Thanks CK

Answer 1

• There is not a built-in feature currently for Azure Purview.
• The recommended approach would be to use Collections and the Data Access Policies to support the access control.
• If you must support scanning via one Purview instance and copying to another, you may subscribe to data catalog events using the Purview Kafka Endpoint and then use some compute to relay them to the other catalog.
• You should also consider doing a one-time Purview migration if Purview Data Catalog 1 and 2 already have scanned assets.
