Declarative Automation Bundles

Declarative Automation Bundles is the current Databricks name, previously Databricks Asset Bundles (since March 2026).

dbx → Databricks Asset Bundles → Declarative Automation Bundles

Infrastructure-as-code format for defining and deploying Databricks resources (jobs, pipelines, etc.) as a versioned bundle.

• Describe an entire project's Databricks resources - jobs, pipelines, dashboards, model serving endpoints - as YAML source files, then validate, deploy, and run the whole bundle from the Databricks CLI. 🔗
• The 2026 rename kept the affectionate 'DABs' acronym, so the docs now read 'Declarative Automation Bundles (formerly Databricks Asset Bundles).' 🔗
