Cost management tools on Databricks

The articles in this section outline the available cost controls and cost monitoring features available on Databricks.

Attribute usage with tags

Use tags to accurately attribute Databricks usage to your organization's business units and teams for chargeback purposes. Tags are formatted as key:value pairs and can be added to compute resources in your account. Admins can also enforce the use of custom tags using compute policies.

These tags propogate to your account's billing records so you can accurately attribute costs to specific users, groups, and projects.

See Use tags to attribute and track usage.

Create budgets

Create budgets and budget alerts to stay informed about usage across your account. You can set up budgets to either track account-wide spending, or apply filters to track the spending of specific teams, projects, or workspaces.

See Create and monitor budgets.

Control costs by managing compute policies

You can use compute policies as a tool to control the type and size of compute resources certain users can create and access. See Create and manage compute policies.
