Deploy a workspace with Bicep

This article explains how to create an Azure Databricks workspace using Bicep.

Bicep is a domain-specific language (DSL) that uses declarative syntax to deploy Azure resources. It provides concise syntax, reliable type safety, and support for code reuse. Bicep offers the best authoring experience for your infrastructure-as-code solutions in Azure.

The Bicep file used in this quickstart is from Azure Quickstart Templates.

@description('Specifies whether to deploy Azure Databricks workspace with Secure Cluster Connectivity (No Public IP) enabled or not')
param disablePublicIp bool = false

@description('The name of the Azure Databricks workspace to create.')
param workspaceName string

@description('The pricing tier of workspace.')
@allowed([
  'standard'
  'premium'
])
param pricingTier string = 'premium'

@description('Location for all resources.')
param location string = resourceGroup().location

var managedResourceGroupName = 'databricks-rg-${workspaceName}-${uniqueString(workspaceName, resourceGroup().id)}'

resource ws 'Microsoft.Databricks/workspaces@2018-04-01' = {
  name: workspaceName
  location: location
  sku: {
    name: pricingTier
  }
  properties: {
    managedResourceGroupId: managedResourceGroup.id
    parameters: {
      enableNoPublicIp: {
        value: disablePublicIp
      }
    }
  }
}

resource managedResourceGroup 'Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups@2021-04-01' existing = {
  scope: subscription()
  name: managedResourceGroupName
}

output workspace object = ws.properties

The Azure resource defined in the Bicep file is Microsoft.Databricks/workspaces: create an Azure Databricks workspace.

• Save the Bicep file as main.bicep to your local computer.
• Deploy the Bicep file using either Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell.

az group create --name exampleRG --location chinaeast2
az deployment group create --resource-group exampleRG --template-file main.bicep --parameters workspaceName=<workspace-name>

New-AzResourceGroup -Name exampleRG -Location chinaeast2
New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName exampleRG -TemplateFile ./main.bicep -workspaceName "<workspace-name>"

When the deployment finishes, you should see a message indicating the deployment succeeded.

Use the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell to list the deployed resources in the resource group.

az resource list --resource-group exampleRG

Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName exampleRG
