## Course Overview

An introduction to STACKIT Dremio, a fully managed data lakehouse service running entirely on STACKIT's sovereign infrastructure — Kubernetes orchestration, elastic engine nodes, and storage integration are all handled for you. The course covers what sets STACKIT Dremio apart from Dremio Cloud and self-hosted Dremio, then walks through creating and configuring your own instance, setting up SSO/OIDC authentication and access policies, and connecting data sources through the Open Catalog.

It's the practical bridge between the conceptual Data Lakehouse and Dremio (DeepDive) courses and the guided exercises in STACKIT Dremio: Hands-On Lab.
