Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
Databricks Repos is a feature that integrates with Git-based version control systems, enabling collaboration, version tracking, and branch-based workflows for CI/CD. While it supports collaborative development and isolated testing through branches, full CI/CD workflows like automated deployments and test execution require external tools. Understanding what features Databricks Repos natively supports is essential for implementing efficient CI/CD pipelines in Databricks environments.
- A. Correct.
Databricks Repos integrates with Git-based version control systems like GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps, enabling version control and collaboration.
- B. Incorrect.
Databricks Repos does not natively support automated deployment to production environments. This requires external CI/CD tools to orchestrate pipelines.
- C. Correct.
Collaborative editing is supported, and changes made to notebooks in a Databricks Repo are tracked and can be committed back to the repository.
- D. Correct.
Databricks Repos supports using branches, which allows developers to test changes in isolated environments and merge them into the main branch after validation.
- E. Incorrect.
Automated tests cannot be directly run within the Databricks notebook interface; such workflows require integration with CI/CD tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
