Configuring OpenMetadata

OpenMetadata is an open source tool used for metadata management, allowing the process of data discovery and governance. You can find more about it here: https://open-metadata.org/.

By performing a few steps, it is possible to create a local or production instance using Docker or Kubernetes. OpenMetadata can connect to multiple resources, such as MySQL, Redis, Redshift, BigQuery, and others, to bring the information needed to build a data catalog.

Getting ready

Before starting our configuration, we must install OpenMetadata and ensure the Docker containers are running correctly. Let us see how it is done:
