Environment Notification / Message

DominikBraun — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 17:06:17 GMT

Is it somehow possible to create a message or alerting for specific Databricks environments to make people more aware that they are using e.g. a PROD environment?

It can be reflected in the environment name like "dev" or "prod", yes. But it would be nice to have a more visible solution like a red bar at the top with a custom message like
⚠️ WARNING: You are in the PRODUCTION environment!
or something similar.

One thing that already helps is using different color themes in the UI (e.g. light for dev, dark for prod). But that's something I can't force for everyone.

As of now there is no option to enable a banner to notify users around the environment they are working on, you could submit this as an idea through https://docs.databricks.com/en/resources/ideas.html#ideas

It's not possible to create an idea or even look at existing ideas on ideas.databricks.com when using Azure Databricks and not having a workspace like <deployment-name>.cloud.databricks.com!? So Azure Databricks customers are not allowed to contribute to the product roadmap? ...

Seems that for Azure the process is a little bit different you might follow steps in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/resources/ideas
