Is there a way to programatically retrieve a workspace name ?

Is there a spark command in databricks that will tell me what databricks workspace I am using? Iโ€™d like to parameterise my code so that I can update delta lake file paths automatically depending on the workspace (i.e. it picks up the dev workspace name when in dev and will pick up the prod workspace name in prod). Is this possible?

You may run the below in a notebook within the workspace:

dbutils.entry_point.getDbutils().notebook().getContext().toJson()

The output contains: 

browserHostName - is the workspace name

orgId - is the workspaceID
