    Connections allow for creating a connection to an external data source.

    A connection is an abstraction of an external data source that can be connected from Databricks Compute. Creating a connection object is the first step to managing external data sources within Unity Catalog, with the second step being creating a data object (catalog, schema, or table) using the connection. Data objects derived from a connection can be written to or read from similar to other Unity Catalog data objects based on cloud storage. Users may create different types of connections with each connection having a unique set of configuration options to support credential management and other settings.
