Running JAR jobs in parallel on a cluster

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find out if databricks has support for clusters which can scale out with more drivers to run new jobs in parallel. If not, then is there a work around for this? I've noticed that all-purpose and job compute clusters both feature only a single driver.

I'm trying to run my spark applications from a jar file passing different arguments to it on every run. I need the applications to be run in parallel and not sequentially or concurrently, this is because I have a pretty strict time constraint requirement. I also need auto-scaling support for the same reason.

I'm quite new to databricks and spark as well, would greatly appreciate anyone's input.
