Can you use external job scheduling tools to start and schedule Databricks jobs?

I am wondering if I have to use the Databricks jobs scheduler to kick off Databricks jobs. My company already uses another job scheduler for our workflows and it would be useful to add our Databricks jobs to that flow.

You could use external tools to schedule jobs in Databricks.

Here is a blogpost explaining how Databricks could be used along with Azure Data factory . This blog explains how to use Airflow with Databricks

It is worth noting that a lot Databricks's functionalities are backed by Rest APIs - so if there are other schedulers that supports rest api, it could be integrated as well.
