• saurabh18cs – After a short gap, returned with helpful inputs on AutoLoader pipeline issues — strong potential to shine again.

• WiliamRosa – Shared practical resolutions to help peers resolve access issues.

• Isi – Clearly shared thoughtful views and suggestions on default package repositories.

🥳 @Sujitha .. 

Really happy to have made this week's Sparks 🙏.

I'm really excited to release my first blog soon ...  I'm aiming to release it this weekend 👀. 

I've been seeing a lot of solutions around networks, especially with @nayan_wylde @szymon_dybczak. Did you have lots of experience with cloud infrastructure before Databricks? 🤔. For someone entering the world of Databricks, would you recommend learning a cloud path i.e. Azure Fundamentals alongside it? I'm curious what your experience has been. I've been very inspired with the solutions. What would you guys consider to be "enough" to know your way with things like firewalls/VPC/whitelisting etc? Is this something you can practice (hands-on) or is it just googling and finding relevant articles? 

Congrats to everyone who made it in the spotlight this week, and also to all the other solutions/contributions. It's awesome to be surrounded with some really smart individuals. Definitely not me over here with imposter syndrome 👀🤣.

all the best,
BS

@BS_THE_ANALYST Yes, I believe some basic idea on infrastructure is reqd. Azure fundamentals is a great way to learn about the basic concepts of infra, networking etc. Also if the workspace is deployed on secured vnet some understanding of private endpoints is needed.
