DBT databricks job is stuck for a long time

Hi

I've created a DBT databricks job and when I run, it gets stuck for a long time. The last message I can see in the output is:
**Opening a new connection, currently in state init
**
I have tried a few thing I read about with no success. My best bet is that the SQL warehouse fails to start. After a few minutes I see the following message:
**Cluster Start-up Delayed. Please wait while we continue to try and start the cluster. No action is required from you.
**
The above message doesn't help me as it has no real issue in it.

Any clue on this issue?

Thanks

Gil

    I recreated the databricks (there's no other way to solve that). If it was a production databricks workspace it was a disaster!
    I have created a VM with static public IP and added this IP to the IP access list. Hopefully it'll become the last resort in case all other IPs will be replaced.
    The above is an ugly workarround. No matter where I have looked, the only solution is to have private endpoint which requires other resources (peered VET + VPN) that I do not want to get into in this project.

    As for the original issue, the issue, as mentioned above, was the SQL warehouse that couldn't start. I have created a new serverless SQL warehouse and added it to the job instead of the starter warehouse that was available and problem solved
