Types of Azure Databricks Cluster Types Lyst1726566822070

A Cluster in Azure Databricks is a group of virtual machines used to run data engineering, science, and analytics workloads. There are two types of clusters: All-purpose clusters for interactive analysis and Job clusters for automated tasks, which are created and terminated based on job execution. Job clusters enhance performance and reliability for scheduled tasks but cannot be restarted once completed.

What is a Cluster:

================

---> A Cluster is a group of Virtual Machines(Nodes) where workloads or tasks


distributed across multiple machines to process
data massively and parallely

An Azure Databricks cluster is a group of compute resources and configurations on


which you run data engineering, data science, and data analytics workloads, such as
production ETL pipelines, streaming analytics, ad-hoc analytics, and machine
learning models.

You run these workloads as a set of commands in a notebook or as an automated job.

Azure Databricks makes a distinction between all-purpose clusters and job clusters.

---> A Cluster is a Compute Engine

---> Compute defines processing ability

Types of Azure Databricks Cluster:


----------------------------------

1) All-purpose Cluster ( Interactive Cluster | Standard Cluster)

2) Job Cluster ( Automated Cluster | On-Demand Cluster)

All-purpose Cluster ( Interactive Cluster):


-------------------------------------------

---> You can create an all-purpose cluster using the UI, CLI, or REST API.

---> You can manually terminate and restart an all-purpose cluster.

---> Multiple users can share such clusters to do collaborative interactive


analysis.

---> All Purpose Cluster is also known as " Interactive Cluster" or "Standard
Cluster"

---> Interactive Cluster : A Data Engineer can interactively test every small
piece code before proceeding to next Cell

What is Job:
============

---> A Job is a automated Scheduled Task such as "Running Notebook","Running Python


File","JAR File( Set of Java files and Scala files)"

Job Cluster:
-------------
---> The Azure Databricks job scheduler creates a job cluster when you run a job
begins and terminates the cluster when the job is complete.

---> A job cluster in Azure Databricks is a temporary cluster that's created to run
a specific job or task.

---> The cluster is created when the job begins and is terminated when the job
finishes.

---> Job clusters are designed to improve the performance and reliability of data
pipelines

---> Azure Databricks job clusters are clusters that are created on-demand to run a
specific job or notebook.

---> They are automatically terminated when the job or notebook execution is
completed

---> You cannot restart a job cluster.

---> A Job is a Scheduled Task that runs on "Job Cluster"

---> A Task can be "Scheduled Notebook" or "Scheduled Jar File" or " Scheduled
Python File"
