Create a Dockerfile from Cluster

[ckwan48]

Is there a way to create a Dockerfile from Workspace A's cluster configurations and deploy that on a different different cluster in Workspace B?

Hi @Kevin Kim​, Databricks Container Services lets you specify a Docker image when you create a cluster.

I wanted to know if we can export the cluster's configs into a docker image?

Hi @Kevin Kim​  We cannot export cluster configs into a docker image. The purpose of providing custom docker images is to be able to pre-install the necessary dependencies on the cluster nodes, instead of doing that during the cluster startup. But the image cannot include the spark/other cluster configs by itself.

However, if you would like to create a cluster with the exact same configs as that of an existing cluster in another workspace, you may use the REST APIs:
