Error While creating the Databricks workspace on the AWS cloudformation stack

[junaid-ahmed077]

Hello,

I was trying to create a Databricks workspace using a CloudFormation template. During the process, I found that we need Databricks account information, such as the workspace account email and workspace password. However, since we use SSO for logging into Databricks, it's not possible to fill in these details. Instead, can we use a token for authentication? We have used this method for creating workspaces with the Databricks API. Could you please suggest if this is a viable option?

Hi @junaid-ahmed077, Since you use SSO for logging into Databricks, using a token is a viable alternative to providing a workspace account email and password.

As @Kaniz_Fatma said, you just need to change authentication to token in your template or just change deployment to AWS::IAM::Role which has access.

You can also consider switching to Terraform.
