Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, D
Explanation
To configure the Databricks CLI, you must first install it and then authenticate it with your workspace. Authentication can be done either interactively using databricks configure --token or by setting environment variables (DATABRICKS_HOST and DATABRICKS_TOKEN). Generating a personal access token is necessary for either method. Directly editing the cluster JSON file is unrelated to CLI configuration.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Generating a personal access token is required to authenticate the Databricks CLI with your workspace.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Running
databricks configure --tokenallows you to interactively set up the CLI configuration using the generated token and workspace URL. - C. Correct.
Correct: Installing the Databricks CLI is a prerequisite for using it. Without installation, the CLI commands cannot run.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Setting environment variables like DATABRICKS_HOST and DATABRICKS_TOKEN is an alternate way to configure the CLI, bypassing the need for interactive setup.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The Databricks CLI cannot be configured by directly editing the cluster JSON file. This is not a valid step for CLI setup.
