My trial is about to expire

I'm aware, my workspace/subscription will be converted into a 'pay-as-you-go' model. That's okay - however I wonder why you don't provide a non-restricted plan just for learning. I'm sure there are ways to block commercial use. However, that's not my point. I am writing this message for another reason:

After I set up the workspace in my Azure account (currently also in trial) I learned that it's better to deploy Databricks "vnet-injected", since there's an "Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server" (acting as my datasource system) in my account as well as some other resources, such as a Key vault. I also want to add Kafka/Event Hub later to play with streaming.

Appereantly it's better to integrate different azure resources via vnet. As for now, I had to figure out the IP of my personal cluster and add it to my Postges-VM's firewall, which is clumsy 😉

Should I just delete my current Databricks workspace once it's expired and then re-deploy it using vnet-injection or can I change this in some way?

Hi @quakenbush ,

In the past you had to create a new VNet injected workspace and migrate all workloads from the existing managed workspace to enable VNet injection. This process was necessary because there was no direct way to convert a managed workspace to a VNet injected workspace. However, a new preview feature now allows for the direct conversion of a managed workspace to a VNet injected workspace, eliminating the need for workspace creation and workload migration. 

You can follow below guide to perform migration:

But you can also delete the old one and set the new one from scratch. Both approaches are vaild 🙂
