Not able to open all all-purpose compute

SushantNavale — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 13:09:06 GMT

I want to create "all-purpose compute" but while clicking on Compute on lift side list, I am automatically getting "SQL warehouses". Can I have a solution on it ?

Hello @SushantNavale!

To confirm, are you experiencing this while using the Databricks Free Edition?

Hi @SushantNavale,

This is an expected behaviour in the Free/Community (Free Edition) workspace.

In Free Edition, you don’t get access to the full Clusters / Compute UI or classic/all-purpose clusters. The only supported compute is serverless SQL warehouses (and serverless jobs behind the scenes). Because of that, the left-hand Compute entry is effectively just an alias and will always take you to the SQL Warehouses page.

If this answer resolves your question, could you mark it as “Accept as Solution”? That helps other users quickly find the correct fix.
