How to configure Databricks Connect to 'Assume Role' when accessing file from an AWS S3 bucket?

[lsoewito]

I have a Databricks cluster configured with an instance profile to assume role when accessing an AWS S3 bucket.

Accessing the bucket from the notebook using the cluster works properly (the instance profile can assume role to access the bucket).

However, when accessing the same bucket via Databricks Connect with the same cluster doesn't work. It throws 'InvalidMountException' with message '403 Forbidden'.

Hi @lsoewito​ , Here's how you can secure access to S3 buckets using instance profiles:-

• https://docs.databricks.com/administration-guide/cloud-configurations/aws/instance-profiles.html

Databricks Connect on High Concurrency clusters is available only in Databricks Runtime 7.3 LTS and above.
