Hello Everyone,
I am currently benchmarking the new serverless compute feature and have observed an unexpected behavior under specific circumstances. During my benchmarking process, I executed two notebooks: one utilizing serverless compute and the other using all-purpose compute.
The notebook attached to the serverless compute completed its execution in 20 minutes, while the notebook using all-purpose compute ran for over three hours. Unfortunately, I exhausted all my Azure credits during this period.
After my Azure cloud account was disabled, I found that I could no longer create any new all-purpose compute resources, which is expected. However, I am still able to start and use serverless compute, including both notebooks and SQL Data Warehouse serverless resources. I can perform transformations and use commands like df.show() to view dataframe results, but I am unable to use df.display() or write to cloud destinations.
My question is twofold:
- Hosting and Operations: Where are these serverless compute resources hosted if my cloud subscription is disabled?
- Billing Concerns: How is the billing for these serverless compute usages handled if my account is no longer active?
I would appreciate any insights or clarifications on this.
