Serverless compute plane networking

This page introduces tools to secure network access between the compute resources in the Azure Databricks serverless compute plane and customer resources. To learn more about the control plane and the serverless compute plane, see Networking security architecture.

To learn more about classic compute and serverless compute, see Compute.

Note

Azure Databricks charges for networking costs when serverless workloads connect to customer resources. See Understand Databricks serverless networking costs.

Serverless compute plane networking overview

Serverless compute resources run in the serverless compute plane, which is managed by Azure Databricks. Account admins can configure secure connectivity between the serverless compute plane and their resources. This network connection is labeled as 2 on the diagram below:

Connectivity between the control plane and the serverless compute plane is always over the cloud network backbone and not the public internet. For more information on configuring security features on the other network connections in the diagram, see Networking.
