Can we deploy databricks notebooks using databricks asset bundles ( DABs )?

I gone through resources supported by DABs but cannot find notebooks deployment via DABs. Is it any possible way we can deploy notebooks using DABs? What the alternative approach?

Hi @Akash30307 ,

Assets bundles are desinged for that purpose. They bundle your code like notebooks, python files and let you define various resource like clusters, jobs etc.
Here you will find example how to deploy DAB with notebook and use then in job via notebook task:

Hi Szymon, Thanks for your info.

I understand, we can deploy job using DABs. Sorry, I might have understood it wrongly. I just want to deploy only the notebooks. I don't want to deploy along with job or any other but only pure notebooks. Is it possible via DABs? If so, could you please share insights on that? I seen below document "notebooks" resource is not mentioned and also did not see any examples saying only notebooks deployment. So, bit confused.

Hi @Akash30307 m

Yes. When you initialize DAB it creates certain structures of folders for you. Anything in src folders will be deployerd. So you can put your source code there, in your case notebook files and they will be deployed to workspace.

Hi @Akash30307 ,
Thank you for your question!

You can also deploy notebooks via our Terraform provider.
You can find more information on our website.
You can also work with databricks_notebook and databricks_notebook_paths data sources.
