View compute
To view your compute, click
Compute in the workspace sidebar.
Pin a compute
- 30 days after a compute is terminated, it is permanently deleted.
- Admins can pin a compute from the compute list or the compute detail page by clicking the pin icon.
Edit a compute
You can edit a compute’s configuration from the compute details UI.
- Notebooks and jobs remain attached to the compute after editing.
- Libraries installed on the compute stay in place after edits.
- Editing attributes other than size and permissions requires restarting the compute, potentially disrupting current users.
- Only running or terminated computes can be edited.
- Permissions for computes in any state can be updated via the compute details page.
Clone a compute
To clone an existing compute, select Clone from the compute’s
kebab menu.
The following attributes are NOT included in the clone:
- Compute permissions
- Attached notebooks
Compute permissions
There are four permission levels for a compute: NO PERMISSIONS, CAN ATTACH TO, CAN RESTART, and CAN MANAGE.
Workspace admins have the CAN MANAGE permission on all compute in their workspace. Users automatically have the CAN MANAGE permission on the compute they create.
| Ability | NO PERMISSIONS | CAN ATTACH TO | CAN RESTART | CAN MANAGE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attach notebook to compute | x | x | x | |
| View Spark UI | x | x | x | |
| View compute metrics | x | x | x | |
| View driver logs | x | |||
| Terminate compute | x | x | ||
| Start and restart compute | x | x | ||
| Edit compute | x | |||
| Attach library to compute | x | |||
| Resize compute | x | |||
| Modify permissions | x |
Terminate a compute
To save compute resources, you can terminate a compute. When the number of terminated compute exceeds 150, the oldest compute is deleted.
Automatic termination
You can also set auto termination for a compute. During compute creation, you can specify an inactivity period in minutes after which you want the compute to terminate.
Configure automatic termination
You can configure automatic termination in the new compute UI. Ensure that the box is checked, and enter the number of minutes in the Terminate after ___ of minutes of inactivity setting.
Unexpected termination
Sometimes a compute is terminated unexpectedly, not as a result of a manual termination or a configured automatic termination.
Delete a compute
Deleting a compute terminates the compute and removes its configuration. To delete a compute, select Delete from the compute’s
menu.
Restart a compute
You can restart a previously terminated compute from the compute list, the compute detail page, or a notebook.
Restart a compute to update it with the latest images
When you restart a compute, it gets the latest images for the compute resource containers and the VM hosts. It is important to schedule regular restarts for long-running compute such as those used for processing streaming data.
