How to deploy Mirrored Azure Databricks Catalog to another workspace
Thanks to input from Vinodh247 and Microsoft support, I quickly realized that what I was trying to achieve is not currently supported. According to MS Support, it is on the roadmap, but without an ETA.
Instead, I decided to downscale my ambitions: In each customer specific workspace, I now manually create the Mirrored Azure Databricks Catalog, along with a Lakehouse and shortcuts pointing to the mirror. With that in place, I can deploy remaining workspace items using deployment pipelines that update the data source for semantic models. It works, and I am ok with this solution for now.
That said, I do look forward to being able to use Terraform to create the Azure Databricks Catalog and Storage connections required for the mirror, and be able to roll out changes to these connections as part of my deployment pipelines. The current solution is a bit too manual for my taste :).
