Hello,
The environment I'm working in has an existing account and unity catalog in our primary region. These have been primarily PoC, and have existed for a year or so.
Now we're building out our IaC and getting ready to move towards production.
In new regions where I'm testing i'm seeing the automatic enablement, and all new workspaces are automatically assigned to the new UC (great).
My question is whether it's possible to replicate this behavior in our existing region. We might not be able to get account level admin access to do the assignment during deployment of a new environment/workspace, so having that automatic assignment would be ideal.
My second question, since my new workspaces don't seem to be currently attached to the UC, is why does the default storage account that databricks creates include a container called unity-catalog-storage, and what is that container used for?

Hello, thanks for the reply.
If I'm reading correctly, there is no way to set up automatic enablement of new workspaces in a region that already has a UC metastore, but rather we need to have an account admin manually enable unity catalog for the new workspaces and select the existing metastore in the region. Is that correct?
