In the upcoming use cases, we will provide guidance for connecting to object storage using the PolyBase feature, which enables Data virtualization. PolyBase allows T-SQL queries to join the data from an external source to relational tables in an instance of SQL Server.
In the final use case, we provide guidance on the automated approach of a data virtualization solution, which includes connecting to external object storage, preparing datasets for data analytical purposes, and connecting external tables using CETAS.
