Hello @Nick Palmer
Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
No, the subnet configuration for the host "public" subnet does not need to be the same CIDR range as the container "private" subnet. The host "public" subnet is used for communication between the Databricks workspace and the Azure services, while the container "private" subnet is used for communication between the Spark executors and the driver. It is recommended to use different CIDR ranges for the host and container subnets to avoid range collisions.
For more details, refer to Deploy Azure Databricks in your Azure virtual network (VNet injection).
Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
