Unable to enable Serverless Notebooks

[akmukherjee]

Hello there,

I have a Databricks Premium Subscription but am not able to enable Serverless Notebooks (as that option does not seem to exist). I have gone through DB documentation and have Unity Catalog Enabled. I even opened a ticket (00591635) but it was closed and I was asked to open a new one here. I purchased DB through the AWS marketplace. I had the exact same observation in Azure. I followed ALL the documentation and I am able to create jobs, compute, run notebooks etc. I do NOT see the Serverless Options in the Feature Enablement Tab as documented (with no explanation either). ANY assistance would be most appreciated as taking 10min to start a cluster is quite prohibitive from a learning perspective for off work hours learner.

can you please provide me an screenshot of the Feature enablement part of your Account Console? The region where your workspace resides and the workspace id please?

Here it it Walter. Appreciate the response.

When you access a notebook and try to select the cluster it does not show the option for serverless  by default?

[Walter_C]

Databricks has started making serverless compute for notebooks, jobs, and Delta Live Tables available by default on eligible accounts, beginning with accounts on the Premium plan or above.

[akmukherjee]

Yes, but for some reason it does not do that on my account. Please see screenshot below. I saw this on both AWS and Azure.

Can you confirm unity Catalog is enabled, can you share an screenshot also of your catalog explorer?

[akmukherjee]

Here is an image of the Catalog Explorer and a sample Catalog.

Seems that you have all requirements and your workspace is hosted in a supported region, when you click on More on the option to select the cluster on the notebook it does not show any Serverless option?

[akmukherjee]

It does not show be a Serverless Notebook Option but shows me a Serverless Warehouse Option when I click Create Resource. as shown below.

On your browser can you please run the following url: https://<workspace_url>/config and search for serverlessClustersEnabled and let me know if it shows true or false.

[akmukherjee]

It shows true as seen below.
