Asset bundle yml factorization

[erigaud]

Hello,

I have a project using asset bundle in which I have several jobs using roughly the same job definition (tags and job clusters definitions are always the same) 

Is there a way to put everything in common in a yml file and reuse that in each individual yml file of each job ? 

Thank you !

Hi @erigaud, YAML supports a feature called anchors and aliases, which allows you to define a set of common properties once and reuse them in multiple places. If your YAML processor supports it, you might also consider using YAML includes. This approach allows you to include an external YAML file directly into another. 

 If you need further assistance or have any specific questions, feel free to ask!

Hello @Kaniz_Fatma 
I want to use complex variables but I would like to define all my variables in a separate file, I do not want to have them declared in the databricks.yml.

Is there a way to do that ? Thank you

What might work, I actually never tried it by myself so far, is this:

Define your complex variables in a separate yaml file (complex variables are supported since v0.222.0), import this file using include, and reference these variables accordingly.
