No Previews option in Azure Databricks user menu

Matt 20

I want to enable serverless compute in Azure Databricks which is in public preview, my workspace is eligible based on the details in the docs here and I am the workspace admin but I don't see a Previews option in my user menu. Is there another way to enable this?

@Matt - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Could you please check and confirm if you meet the eligibility requirements?

To be eligible for the public preview, your workspace must meet the following requirements:

Must have Unity Catalog enabled.

Must not have the compliance security profile enabled.

Must not have secure cluster connectivity enabled.

Must be in a supported region. See Supported regions list.

Looking forward for your response.

@Matt - Are you sure you're not already able to access it from the create SQL Warehouse Interface?

Looking forward for your response.

Yes I can create a serverless SQL warehouse, but I was under the impression this preview allows us to use serverless compute for notebooks and jobs? E.g. this preview, more info here for notebooks and here for jobs.

@Matt - Yes, even I had the impression this preview allows us to use serverless compute for notebooks and jobs. But actually, it's not.
Note: I tried to connect serverless compute for notebooks and jobs without any issue.
Since I was not able to view the "Previews" tab as shown in the document: Enable serverless compute public preview - Azure Databricks | Microsoft Learn

I had reached out to the internal team to get more information related to your query and will get back to you as soon as we have an update.

@Matt - Here is the update from internal team: I am able to see the preview option, when a created a new Azure Databrick workspace as shown below:

My assumption is it would show up shortly, if you are in one of the regions that supports serverless compute. Having said the above, if I click the "preview" menu option, I do not see the any option to enable serverless compute. My guess is it is almost there, I see the menu item, hopefully in the near future the option to enable serverless compute too will show up.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Thanks, I just checked my workspace again and I now also have the Previews option, and also don't yet have the serverless preview listed (only Genie Spaces). I will keep checking back to see when other previews are available.
