Hello,
Is there any restriction on community edition runtimes, because when I try to create a compute resource with runtime 16.1 it takes a long time and then always end with a failure like the following screenshot.
Thanks for your help,

Hello @juchom,
Yes, there are restrictions on the Databricks Community Edition runtimes. The Community Edition has certain limitations, including the versions of DBR that can be used, but to confirm could you please advise what is the error you are observing?

Hi @juchom,
Thanks for the details, are you using any type of container (docker) image? Or any special setting on the cluster?
If you use any LTS DBR version it works fine, right?
I will see if I can replicate this.

Nothing special, I just click on create compute button, then select 16.1 from the dropdown and click create compute button again.
If you use any LTS DBR version it works fine, right?
Yes, I have just created a 15.4 fine.
