What to ask your platform team for, and how to keep the Catalog's settings in code. Start with Access; use CI/CD and automation when you manage the snapshot schedule or user-defined columns.
- Access: Request access to the Catalog and audit log from your platform team, including the identity policy, then check that it works.
- CI/CD and automation: Keep the Catalog's snapshot schedule, retention and user-defined columns in code with the REST API or vastpy, and check freshness before reports.
