Whitelisting of databricks IPs on a server

Question

Hi,

I am working on a project which utilizes databricks, I need to whitelist the ip used by databricks on a client server however I am unsure of which subnet needs to be whitelisted. The setup is so that we have databricks utilizing two separate private subnets for its use cases, one subnet which utilizes 112 IPs and the other utilizes 507 IPs. How do I understand which subnet should be whitelisted.

@Gupta, Sukrit - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

By default, users can connect to Azure Databricks from any computer or IP address. IP access lists enable you to restrict access to your Azure Databricks account and workspaces based on a user’s IP address. For example, you can configure IP access lists to allow users to connect only through existing corporate networks with a secure perimeter. If the internal VPN network is authorized, users who are remote or traveling can use the VPN to connect to the corporate network. If a user attempts to connect to Azure Databricks from an insecure network, like from a coffee shop, access is blocked.

There are two IP access list features:

• IP access lists for the account console (Public Preview): Account admins can configure IP access lists for the account console to allow users to connect to the account console UI and account-level REST APIs only through a set of approved IP addresses. Account owners and account admins can use an account console UI or a REST API to configure allowed and blocked IP addresses and subnets. See Configure IP access lists for the account console.
• IP access lists for workspaces: Workspace admins can configure IP access lists for Azure Databricks workspaces to allow users to connect to the workspace or workspace-level APIs only through a set of approved IP addresses. Workspace admins use a REST API to configure allowed and blocked IP addresses and subnets. See Configure IP access lists for workspaces.
