Note

Support for this Databricks Runtime version has ended. For the end-of-support date, see End-of-support history. For all supported Databricks Runtime versions, see Databricks Runtime release notes versions and compatibility.

Databricks released this version in March 2021.

Databricks Runtime 8.0 for Machine Learning provides a ready-to-go environment for machine learning and data science based on Databricks Runtime 8.0 (EoS). Databricks Runtime ML contains many popular machine learning libraries, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, and XGBoost. It also supports distributed deep learning training using Horovod.

For more information, including instructions for creating a Databricks Runtime ML cluster, see AI and machine learning on Databricks.

New features and major changes

Databricks Runtime 8.0 ML is built on top of Databricks Runtime 8.0. For information on what’s new in Databricks Runtime 8.0, including Apache Spark MLlib and SparkR, see the Databricks Runtime 8.0 (EoS) release notes.

Conda channel configuration

In September 2020 Anaconda Inc. updated their terms of service for anaconda.org channels. Based on the new terms of service you may require a commercial license if you rely on Anaconda’s packaging and distribution. Visit Anaconda Commercial Edition FAQ for more information. As a result of this change, we removed the default channel configuration for the Conda package manager in Databricks Runtime ML 8.0. To install or update packages using the %conda command, you must specify a channel. Your use of any Anaconda channels is governed by their terms of service.
