Question on: Dremio
What is a Dremio reflection?
What is a Dremio reflection?

A reflection is an optimized materialization of source data or a query, similar to a materialized view, that is derived from an existing table or view. A table or view that a reflection is derived from is that refection’s anchor.
Dremio’s query optimizer can accelerate a query against tables or views by using one or more reflections to partially or entirely satisfy that query, rather than processing the raw data in the underlying data source. Queries do not need to reference reflections directly. Instead, Dremio rewrites queries on the fly to use the reflections that satisfy them.

Answered: Drishti Chadha on November 23, 2022
No Microsoft does not own databricks but Microsoft is a first party vendor for databricks so any license or memory related queries are directly handled by Microsoft only.
Databricks do have a partnership with other vendors as well like GCP or AWS as well but its a third party not first party like Azure.
