This article explains how to create your Azure Databricks account and start your free trial. With the free trial, you are eligible to receive credit for free Databricks usage, valid for 14 days after you start your trial.
To sign up for the Databricks free trial, you will create a new Azure Databricks workspace using the Azure portal. When you create the workspace, you can select the Trial (Premium - 14-Days Free DBUs) pricing tier to give the workspace access to free Premium Azure Databricks DBUs for 14 days.
To create a Azure Databricks workspace, you must be the one of the following:
A user with the Azure Contributor or Owner role at the subscription level.
A user with a custom role definition that has the following list of permissions:
Microsoft.Databricks/workspaces/*
Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/read
Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/write
Microsoft.Databricks/accessConnectors/*
Microsoft.Compute/register/action
Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/register/action
Microsoft.Storage/register/action
Microsoft.Network/register/action
Microsoft.Resources/deployments/validate/action
Microsoft.Resources/deployments/write
Microsoft.Resources/deployments/read
Note
The Microsoft.Compute/register/action
, Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/register/action
, Microsoft.Storage/register/action
, Microsoft.Network/register/action
permissions are not required if these providers are already registered in the subscription. See Register resource provider.
In the Azure portal, select Create a resource > Analytics > Azure Databricks.
Under Azure Databricks Service, provide the values to create a Databricks workspace.
Property | Description |
---|---|
Workspace name | Provide a name for your Databricks workspace |
Subscription | From the drop-down, select your Azure subscription. |
Resource group | Specify whether you want to create a new resource group or use an existing one. A resource group is a container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. For more information, see Azure Resource Group overview. |
Location | Select West US 2. For other available regions, see Azure services available by region. |
Pricing Tier | Choose between Standard, Premium, or Trial. For more information on these tiers, see Databricks pricing page. |
Select Review + Create, and then Create. The workspace creation takes a few minutes. During workspace creation, you can view the deployment status in Notifications. Once this process is finished, your user account is automatically added as an admin user in the workspace.
Note
When a workspace deployment fails, the workspace is still created in a failed state. Delete the failed workspace and create a new workspace that resolves the deployment errors. When you delete the failed workspace, the managed resource group and any successfully deployed resources are also deleted.
Your next steps depend on whether you want to continue setting up your account organization and security or want to start building out data pipelines:
