Connect to external data sources
This article explains how to connect your SAP Databricks workspace to non-SAP data sources.
SAP Databricks supports reading data from AWS S3 buckets, external APIs, and Delta Sharing shares. If you would like to manage outbound network connections, you can set up serverless egress control. See What is serverless egress control?.
Connect to an S3 location
Workspace admins can create an external location to connect to an AWS S3 bucket. For instructions on creating an external location, see Create an external location to connect cloud storage to SAP Databricks.
To prevent data loss, SAP Databricks requires that external locations be read-only.
Receive a Delta Share
SAP Databricks accounts can receive Delta Sharing shares from workspaces both inside and outside their account. To learn about receiving and reading shared data, see Access data shared with you using Delta Sharing.
SAP Databricks accounts can be the recipients of Delta Shares, but cannot initiate shares to locations outside of SAP.
