[SPIKE] Research Data Catalog Software Pack #649

Description

@jallard-ot-ai

Research spike to investigate the following:

Overview

We have several terabytes of compute vision datasets (image and full motion video) that will live on our deployment. We need a way to organize those datasets and also control who gets access. 

Important: We are not tied to any specific data catalog solution. This effort should include a review of available options. However, our client is considering commercial Databricks for data holdings and other services, so OSS Databricks Unity Catalog should be strongly considered. 


Requirements

  User Requirement
1 Must be deployed on AWS GovCloud (COSMOS)
2 Must support multi-user (user identities tied back to keycloak) and be performant at scale
3 Must support permission control - restricted access to datasets based on user or user group
4 Other software packs must be able to access the data holdings (e.g. JupyterHub, Ray, FiftyOne)
5 Regular users on Nebari must be able to add/remove data from the catalog (no k8s access)
6 Supports both datasets and computer vision models
7 Admin users must be able to set permissions on shared datasets
8 Data compliance = guaranteed access control (for MVP - we can/will expand later)
9 Internal backup system or ability to connect to Nebari’s backup system
10 This catalog becomes the gate through which all data access must flow. It must be able to control access even when other software packs are accessing the data.
