Build a Governed Databricks Workspace with Pulumi

Platform teams responsible for Databricks often find themselves manually configuring clusters and notebooks for every new data science team. This manual overhead leads to inconsistent cluster policies, runaway costs from oversized instances, and security gaps in workspace operations. Without a standardized way to provision workspace-local resources, data platforms become a fragmented collection of bespoke environments that are impossible to govern at scale.
As Databricks usage grows across the enterprise, the lack of a governed workspace baseline becomes a major operational risk. Inconsistent policies lead to unpredictable billing and audit failures. Standardizing your Databricks environment with Pulumi ensures that every workspace starts with the correct cost controls, cluster policies, notebooks, and automated jobs, allowing your data teams to move faster without compromising governance.
