Databricks Account in Azure

[DrK]

Hi,

We have been piloting databricks using unity catalog in development in our azure development subscription. We are looking at plans for moving to production\live which is a completely different azure subscription. I created a workspace in production as a test, but this didn`t then show up in the databricks account. My questions are;

• What is the relationship between the databricks account and the Azure subscription? There doesn`t seem to be a way of creating a databricks workspace in a specific azure subscription from the account admin portal itself (apparently this is possible in AWS and GCP though).
• Would we need 2 databricks accounts to do this, if so, how is that actually done if the databricks account is linked to an AD user?
• Are there any resources online for the above, we havn`t been able to find much about the subject.

@Andy Skinner​ When you create your workspace that will be tied to your databricks account.

your account will be tied to subscription and resource group .

from E2 architecture you can create multiple workspaces (in different regions) in one databricks account

one more thing you need to consider is unity catalog --> data governance can be done within multiple workspaces in same account and region

Not sure that answers my question though. I created a new workspace, in my production subscription, but it didn`t appear to be listed in my databricks account, only my workspaces from my development subscription were (one of which is using Unity metastore). If an account is tied to a subscription that would suggest we need 2 databricks accounts?
