End to end workspace management

Once you have the workspace setup on Azure or AWS, you have to start managing resources within your workspace. The following configuration blocks initializes the most common variables, databricks_spark_version, databricks_node_type, and databricks_current_user.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    databricks = {
      source = "databricks/databricks"
    }
  }
}

provider "databricks" {}

data "databricks_current_user" "me" {}
data "databricks_spark_version" "latest" {}
data "databricks_node_type" "smallest" {
  local_disk = true
}

Part 1: Standard functionality

These resources do not require administrative privileges. More documentation is available at dedicated pages for databricks_secret_scope, databricks_token, databricks_secret, databricks_notebook, databricks_job, databricks_cluster, databricks_cluster_policy, databricks_instance_pool.

resource "databricks_secret_scope" "this" {
  name = "demo-${data.databricks_current_user.me.alphanumeric}"
}

resource "databricks_token" "pat" {
  comment          = "Created from ${abspath(path.module)}"
  lifetime_seconds = 3600
}

resource "databricks_secret" "token" {
  string_value = databricks_token.pat.token_value
  scope        = databricks_secret_scope.this.name
  key          = "token"
}

resource "databricks_notebook" "this" {
  path     = "${data.databricks_current_user.me.home}/Terraform"
  language = "PYTHON"
  content_base64 = base64encode(<<-EOT
    token = dbutils.secrets.get('${databricks_secret_scope.this.name}', '${databricks_secret.token.key}')
    print(f'This should be redacted: {token}')
    EOT
  )
}

resource "databricks_job" "this" {
  name = "Terraform Demo (${data.databricks_current_user.me.alphanumeric})"

  task {
    task_key = "task1"

    new_cluster {
      num_workers   = 1
      spark_version = data.databricks_spark_version.latest.id
      node_type_id  = data.databricks_node_type.smallest.id
    }

    notebook_task {
      notebook_path = databricks_notebook.this.path
    }
  }
}

  cluster_name            = "Exploration (${data.databricks_current_user.me.alphanumeric})"
  spark_version           = data.databricks_spark_version.latest.id
  instance_pool_id        = databricks_instance_pool.smallest_nodes.id
  autotermination_minutes = 20
  autoscale {
    min_workers = 1
    max_workers = 10
  }
}

resource "databricks_cluster_policy" "this" {
  name = "Minimal (${data.databricks_current_user.me.alphanumeric})"
  definition = jsonencode({
    "dbus_per_hour" : {

output "notebook_url" {
  value = databricks_notebook.this.url
}

output "job_url" {

}

Part 2: Workspace security

Managing security requires administrative privileges. More documentation is available at dedicated pages for databricks_secret_acl, databricks_group, databricks_user, databricks_group_member, databricks_permissions.

resource "databricks_secret_acl" "spectators" {
  principal  = databricks_group.spectators.display_name
  scope      = databricks_secret_scope.this.name
  permission = "READ"
}

resource "databricks_group" "spectators" {
  display_name = "Spectators (by ${data.databricks_current_user.me.alphanumeric})"
}

resource "databricks_user" "dummy" {
  user_name    = "dummy+${data.databricks_current_user.me.alphanumeric}@example.com"
  display_name = "Dummy ${data.databricks_current_user.me.alphanumeric}"
}

resource "databricks_group_member" "a" {
  group_id  = databricks_group.spectators.id
  member_id = databricks_user.dummy.id
}

resource "databricks_permissions" "notebook" {
  notebook_path = databricks_notebook.this.id
  access_control {
    user_name        = databricks_user.dummy.user_name
    permission_level = "CAN_RUN"
  }
  access_control {
    group_name       = databricks_group.spectators.display_name
    permission_level = "CAN_READ"
  }
}

resource "databricks_permissions" "job" {
  job_id = databricks_job.this.id
  access_control {
    user_name        = databricks_user.dummy.user_name
    permission_level = "IS_OWNER"
  }
  access_control {
    group_name       = databricks_group.spectators.display_name
    permission_level = "CAN_MANAGE_RUN"
  }
}

resource "databricks_permissions" "cluster" {
  cluster_id = databricks_cluster.this.id
  access_control {
    user_name        = databricks_user.dummy.user_name
    permission_level = "CAN_RESTART"
  }
  access_control {
    group_name       = databricks_group.spectators.display_name
    permission_level = "CAN_ATTACH_TO"
  }
}

resource "databricks_permissions" "policy" {
  cluster_policy_id = databricks_cluster_policy.this.id
  access_control {
    group_name       = databricks_group.spectators.display_name
    permission_level = "CAN_USE"
  }
}

resource "databricks_permissions" "pool" {
  instance_pool_id = databricks_instance_pool.smallest_nodes.id
  access_control {
    group_name       = databricks_group.spectators.display_name
    permission_level = "CAN_ATTACH_TO"
  }
}

Part 3: Storage

Depending on your preferences and needs, you can

• Manage JAR, Wheel & Egg libraries through databricks_dbfs_file.
• List entries on DBFS with databricks_dbfs_file_paths data source.
• Get contents of small files with databricks_dbfs_file data source.
• Mount your storage using databricks_mount resource.

Part 4: Advanced configuration

More documentation is available at dedicated pages for databricks_workspace_conf and databricks_ip_access_list.

data "http" "my" {
  url = "https://ifconfig.me"
}

resource "databricks_workspace_conf" "this" {
  custom_config = {
    "enableIpAccessLists" : true
  }
}

resource "databricks_ip_access_list" "only_me" {
  label        = "only ${data.http.my.body} is allowed to access workspace"
  list_type    = "ALLOW"
  ip_addresses = ["${data.http.my.body}/32"]
  depends_on   = [databricks_workspace_conf.this]
}
