I am new to data bricks. setting up Workspace for NON-prod environment Separate workspaces for DEV, QA or Just one work space for NON-prod ?

[Avvar2022]

What i learned based on learning materials, documents, etc.. For data bricks it is a good practice to set up 1 non-prod workspace but separate clusters for Dev, QA, SIT, etc.

Is it best practice to set up only 1 NON-PROD Workspace instead of separate workspaces DEV, QA, UAT, etc..

Which option would be a best practice Option 1 Or Option 2 ?

@Ashok Zubrewar​ Hi. IMHO, the best practice is Option2. This will help you

1. To isolate and best manage your CICD pipelines,
2. To provide access controls at the workspace level for different users . Ex more privileges in Dev vs restricted privileges in Prod workspace
3. To restrict access on Source data . Ex Dev data can be given access only to Dev cluster, Prod data can be given access only to Prod cluster.

Please see if this helps.
