Hi friends,

A quick question regarding how data, workspace controls works while using "Azure Databricks". I am planning to use Azure Databricks that comes as part of my employer's Azure Subscriptions. I work for a Public sector organization, which is BC Government , Canada. We use services from Azure Portal , that is governed by guardrail mechanism, in terms to geolocation, data residency etc. To be specific , we created all Azure Resources that is located in "Central -Canada MSFT Datacenters(DC)".

Now question is, If we use "Azure Databricks",  Does all the data, and its controls is with in Azure or MSFT environment/DCs? I can see all IPs the domains resolve with in MSFT. Reference : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/resources/ip-domain-region

But there are conflicting opinions like, " DataBricks is managed externally to Azure, even though I create workspace via Azure Databricks" - is this statement correct?

Please let me know . Thanks.
