Is it possible to use Iceberg instead of DeltaLake?

Hi.

Do you know if it is possible to use Iceberg table format instead DeltaLake?

Ideally, I would like to see the tables in Databricks stored as Iceberg and use them as usual in the notebooks.

I read that there is also an option to link external metastore to Databricks that could do the trick but prefer to ask first. 🙂

Thanks for any help.
