Cannot click Compute tab

[jmeer]

Hi, I want to change the cluster I am using. However, when I click on the "Compute" tab on the platform, I get automatically redirected to the "SQL Warehouses" page. I am not able to click and enter the "Compute" page. How can I solve this? Thank you

Does the platform’s Compute tab refer to the Compute option in the sidebar? Could you please tell me exactly what you’re clicking on when you get redirected?

Hi Takuya, yes, I mean this exact option in the sidebar.

What happens is that when I click on the "Compute" option in the sidebar, I get redirected to the page "SQL Warehouses". It is like I clicked on the option in the sidebar for the "SQL Warehouses".

I am also facing same issue when I click on the "Compute" tab on the platform, I get automatically redirected to the "SQL Warehouses"

I am facing the same issue. Does anyone here know how to fix it ?

I had the same problem, but I figured it out. You might be working in a serverless space of Databricks, so you don't have the option to create a cluster. To fix the compute issue, create a new notebook. After that, look at the right of your screen after "Run all" and click the "connect" to connect to the serverless space. You will be connected to the Environment version. Once that is done, you will not need to create a cluster to compute.

THIS IS NOT RELATED TO A FREE ACCOUNT

I ran into the same issue—there was no option to create general compute, only SQL Warehouse or serverless.

Solution:
When creating a Databricks resource in the Azure portal, it defaults to a serverless workspace, which doesn’t allow you to create general-purpose clusters. To enable that option, choose the hybrid workspace type instead.

This limitation is not tied to using a free Azure account. Once you create a hybrid workspace, the option to create general compute will be available.
