Clouds in Databricks

[Artur1]

I'm trying to understand the differences between the clouds that offer Databricks, and I'm interested in GCP. However, I'm unsure if choosing GCP would allow me to use AI functionalities like Agent Bricks. Regardless of the cloud I choose, will I have access to all the features?

Hi @Artur1 ,

On GCP, Agent Bricks is not available yet. Feature parity across clouds and regions is improving, but some capabilities, including Agent Bricks, are only available in specific clouds (AWS, Azure) today.

You can still build agents using Agent Framework (custom code) and broader Mosaic AI building blocks on GCP. Here are all of the AI/ML features available on GCP today (you can toggle the cloud with the dropdown in the top right of this page): https://docs.databricks.com/gcp/en/machine-learning/

More broadly - the features can be explored here (also with the dropdown in the top right): https://docs.databricks.com/gcp/en

Features can be delayed based on the cloud. GCP often lags. You can use Azure/AWS especially for AI features. Used Azure Databricks for 7 years with almost no issues.
