Data Connection is used to connect and manage what?

• A. Diverse data sources with the Foundry platform.
• B. Only internal datasets.
• C. Only data visualization for dashboards.
• D. Only authentication tokens.

Answer: (A)

Data Connection is about linking Foundry to diverse data sources and managing those connections within the platform. It lets you connect to databases, data lakes, files, streams, and APIs across on‑premises or cloud environments, so data from many origins can be ingested, governed, and used in projects. It also handles the credentials, connection properties, and metadata that describe each source, enabling secure, consistent access and governance across the workspace. It’s not limited to internal datasets, nor is it primarily about dashboards or tokens—the main purpose is to connect to and manage a variety of data sources.
