Standing up an Iceberg + Nessie catalog is now zero-config and works on non-AWS and air-gapped object storage straight away. Ilum sets up the catalog for you and handles its storage credentials automatically. A built-in Nessie catalog just works on any S3-compatible store and under any catalog name, with no Spark settings to edit by hand.
Catalog set up for you: Ilum configures the Iceberg+Nessie catalog from your settings. Choosing a custom catalog name no longer leaves you with a broken catalog.
Credentials handled automatically: the catalog's storage credentials are applied for you and are never stored in or shown by Ilum.
Works off-AWS: the catalog's region is now set correctly, fixing the error that used to hit the very first table creation against non-AWS storage.
Iceberg-on-Nessie used to need careful, easily-broken setup that failed silently on the first write outside AWS. Now it's a default that works the first time, consistently, wherever your object storage lives. Where to find it: create or edit a Nessie catalog from the Metastores view. The region field is right there in the form. Nessie catalog creation Links:Nessie catalog Available in version: 6.7.2
