Is it possible to create external volume using databricks asset bundle?

Is it possible to create external volume using databricks asset bundle? I have this code from databricks.yml file which is working perfectly fine for manged volume:

resources:

volumes:

bronze_checkpoints_volume:

catalog_name: ${var.catalog}

name: checkpoints

schema_name: bronze

Is there a way to do it for external volume as well?

Hey @hpant Yes, we can create external databricks volumes as well using databricks asset bundles

bundle: name: external_volume resources: volumes: external_volume_creation: catalog_name: retail_data name: test_volume schema_name: bronze storage_location: s3://external_location_path volume_type: EXTERNAL
