cluster creation - access mode option

Braxx — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 14:09:03 GMT

I am a bit lazy and trying to manually recreate a cluster I have in one workspace into another one.

The cluster was created some time ago. Looking at the configuration, the access mode field is "custom":

When trying to create a new cluster, I do not have this option. I have 3 others but not custom.

Is this a new option added recently or I did something wrong in a configuration?

Ideally, I want to have this option configured the same way as in my existing cluster

TIA

There was a change in the Databricks UI recently, here you can find this documented: https://docs.databricks.com/clusters/cluster-ui-preview.html#what-is-cluster-access-mode

It seems like it was High Concurrency access, to access this option you need to switch the view to old UI:

Thanks Pat,

You are right. When switching to old UI, there is no option as "Access mode".

I could have now created a new cluster with old UI. Then edit it with a new UI and now in "Access mode" this custom option was available to select.

Thanks a lot 🙂

Hi All - I am new to databricks and trying to create my first workflow. For some reason, the cluster created is of type -"custom". I have not mentioned it anywhere in my asset bundle.
Due to this - I cannot create get the Unity Catalog feature. Could someone please help.

Thanks.
