Yes, you can. See here: https://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/api/latest/clusters.html

The JSON payload would look as follows:

{
  "cluster_name": "my-cluster",
  "spark_version": "7.3.x-scala2.12",
  "node_type_id": "i3.xlarge",
  "spark_conf": {
    "spark.speculation": true
  },
  "aws_attributes": {
    "availability": "SPOT",
    "zone_id": "us-west-2a"
  },
  "num_workers": 25
}

One can create a Cluster(s) using CLuster API @ https://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/api/latest/clusters.html#create

However, REST API 2.0 doesn't provide certain features like "Enable Table Access Control", which has been introduced after REST API 2.0. Given said that one can always enable those features using spark config:

spark.databricks.acl.sqlOnly true
