databricks fs ls

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To verify that the Databricks CLI is properly configured, you can execute the 'databricks clusters list' command. This command connects to the Databricks workspace and retrieves the available clusters, ensuring that the CLI is set up correctly with the necessary authentication and connectivity. Other commands, such as 'databricks configure --token,' are part of the setup process, but they do not validate the connection or provide cluster information.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct command to list clusters in your Databricks workspace, which also verifies that the CLI is properly configured and connected.
- B. Incorrect.
This command is used during the configuration process to set up the CLI with a personal access token, but it does not test the connection or list clusters.
- C. Incorrect.
This command is used to list files in the Databricks file system (DBFS), but it does not test workspace connection or provide information about clusters.
- D. Incorrect.
This command is used to list jobs in the Databricks workspace, but it does not verify the CLI connection or provide cluster information.
