DATABRICKS on AWS

CELIAYUDIT — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:00:14 GMT

Good day, community.
I'm working on a project using Databricks Community Edition, but I've hit the limits of the available resources for the amount of data I need to process. I'm trying to switch to the paid version of Databricks on AWS, but I'm having trouble getting everything set up.

If anyone has already gone through this setup and could offer some guidance or share their experience, I’d really appreciate it.

@WiliamRosa I think you've missed out on a crucial piece of information that @CELIAYUDIT provided, they're on the Community Edition.

The community edition is the legacy option now and the Free Edition has tonnes more features for upskilling: https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/getting-started/free-edition

@WiliamRosa, the link you've provided is not an AWS setup guide? Please see pic below from link

@CELIAYUDIT if you are looking at setting up a paid for version of databricks, do you know there's trials available? You'll see https://login.databricks.com/?intent=signup&scid=7018Y000001Fi0oQAC&utm_medium=paid+search&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=14925725269&utm_adgroup=133613194532&utm_content=trial&utm_offer=trial&utm_ad=724888407498&utm_term=databricks+trial&dbx_source=paid&gad_campaignid=14925725269&tuuid=92bad366-8c48-40ce-888d-e2876fd541d0&rl_aid=f8bd135e-c44e-4a03-8155-13d337c0250e

Two useful AWS setup guides for databricks:
https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/admin/workspace/quick-start
https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/getting-started/onboarding-account

Of course, there'll be loads of useful youtube videos aswell! 👍

All the best,
