Databricks jobs api can invoke code from cloud storage. But please note that it will not be stored as a Databricks notebook, rather it would be a source file or jar.

Koalas is great! This really helps ease the transition from Pandas to Spark, because you can just use the same Pandas functions/classes through the Koalas API but everything runs in the background in Spark.

If you are already familiar with pandas and want to leverage Spark for big data, we recommend using Koalas. If you are learning Spark from ground up, we recommend you start with PySpark’s API.
