how do you disable serverless interactive compute for all users

[DataCurious]

I don't want users using serverless interactive compute for their jobs. how do i disable it for everyone or for specific users

The feature should actually be implemented to allow usage of serverless instead to restrict usage of serverless. The default should be not allowed. Outside of this, admins have a clear control on how compute can be used using the compute policies. If we don't assign a policy to a user, he/she can't use any compute. With serverless default, it has bypassed everything like other users have mentioned.

Hi Team, Any update on this? We'd like to stop serverless compute access as well

I was running into this same issue. I found the following documentation for locking down serverless compute using network policies.

We are in the same situation, users use Serverless without noticing as it starts as the default cluster, we have set a daily alert and reach the user to educate them, but it's a tricky move from Databricks, not cool.

Helpful update:

We need updates like disabling each serverless compute (jobs, interactive or SQL), If we only want anyone of those we must have the option to disable others and need a policies to restrict to peoples this is a basic one why this is not thereWe need updates such as the ability to disable each type of serverless compute (Jobs, Interactive, or SQL). If we want to allow only one of them, we should have the option to disable the others. There should also be policies to restrict access for specific people. This is a basic feature, so why isn’t it available?

We were able to restrict access to serverless by making an Azure support ticket. The technical controls seem to exist, they are just not exposed.

Could you please elaborate what exactly you have done? We only want to use Serverless as Job Compute, and restrict it at Notebook level.

At the local university, we have arranged, for the last few years, a course which uses Spark and Databricks for hands-on coding practice. There are 300 students on the course. We have controlled the price by having a single common cluster. It has auto-shutdown but students practically seem to use it  24/7. The per-user usage is so light, this has mostly worked well.

If I understand right, the serverless notebook pricing would be for each user separately. This is a show stopper and we might need to move to alternative platforms for the course.

I don't have university Databricks Account access and the university does not have Azure support plan for this kind of tickets.
