Please note - as of October 2023 the Unity Catalog metastore no longer requires an access connector and storage root path, greatly simplifying the setup! So you can disregard the steps and discussion at these points in the video: time=7:18, 8:28, and 33:40. The rest of the video is still super helpful to understand how to setup your Catalogs, Storage Credentials, External Locations, and more. Note that the steps to make an access connector (time=27:15) still apply to creating your dev/test/prod Catalog managed storage locations. Hope to create an updated video reflecting these simplifications sometime soon!
