Automated Deployment with Databricks Asset Bundles

This course provides a comprehensive review of DevOps principles and their application to Databricks projects. It begins with an overview of core DevOps, DataOps, continuous integration (CI), continuous deployment (CD), and testing, and explores how these principles can be applied to data engineering pipelines.

The course then focuses on continuous deployment within the CI/CD process, examining tools like the Databricks REST API, SDK, and CLI for project deployment. You will learn about Databricks Asset Bundles (DABs) and how they fit into the CI/CD process. You’ll dive into their key components, folder structure, and how they streamline deployment across various target environments in Databricks. You will also learn how to add variables, modify, validate, deploy, and execute Databricks Asset Bundles for multiple environments with different configurations using the Databricks CLI.

Finally, the course introduces Visual Studio Code as an Interactive Development Environment (IDE) for building, testing, and deploying Databricks Asset Bundles locally, optimizing your development process. The course concludes with an introduction to automating deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions to enhance the CI/CD workflow with Databricks Asset Bundles.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped to automate Databricks project deployments with Databricks Asset Bundles, improving efficiency through DevOps practices.

AI/BI for Data Analysts

In this course, you’ll learn how to use the features Databricks provides for business intelligence needs: AI/BI Dashboards and AI/BI Genie. As a Databricks Data Analyst, you will be tasked with creating AI/BI Dashboards and AI/BI Genie Spaces within the platform, managing the access to these assets by stakeholders and necessary parties, and maintaining these assets as they are edited, refreshed, or decommissioned over the course of their lifespan. This course intends to instruct participants on how to design dashboards for business insights, share those with collaborators and stakeholders, and maintain those assets within the platform. Participants will also learn how to utilize AI/BI Genie Spaces to support self-service analytics through the creation and maintenance of these environments powered by the Databricks Data Intelligence Engine.
