Building the Ultimate Databricks Environment
summary
Practical checklist for a Databricks deployment: Terraform repo with examples, backend private link and frontend private link setups to eliminate public IPs, VPC/VNet hub‑and‑spoke with multi‑AZ subnets, and a sandbox for testing PrivateLink. Uses Dockerized dev tooling (the Three Musketeers pattern: Dockerfile, docker‑compose, Makefile) so everyone runs the same CLIs. Disaster recovery options include replay, or a pilot‑light DR with Delta Sharing plus deep clones. Mentions Datat tool, system tables, cost caveats and region/Serverless (serus) feature differences.
