Databricks - Authorization
To get started with any Databricks Blueprints, you will need to create an Access Token and know your Instance URL. These pieces of information form a secure way for Shipyard to access Databricks and will be required for every Databricks Blueprint.
Create a Databricks Access Token
- Navigate to your
. Open whichever one you want to get an access token for.
2. On the sidebar, select the Settings icon and then User Settings.
- Select the Access tokens tab at the top.
- Click Generate new token.
- Provide a descriptive name under Comment (like "Shipyard")
- Remove the value under Lifetime (days) so that it's blank.
CAUTION:
While best practice is typically to have expiring API tokens that rotate, we recommend letting Shipyard tokens run indefinitely to prevent interruption to your Fleets.
- Click Generate.
- Copy the newly created token and store it in a safe location. This is the access token value you will use for every Databricks Blueprint.
- Click Done.
Finding the Instance URL
The Instance URL is a part of every URL on Databricks. For example, if the full URL was https://random-id-242.cloud.databricks.com/, your Instance URL would be random-id-242.cloud.databricks.com.
