Network connectivity configuration

Network connectivity configuration is a Databricks compute / bi capability, introduced October 2023.

Account-level, regional object that manages serverless compute networking - the private endpoints (Private Link) and stable firewall identities serverless compute uses to reach your resources - and is attached to one or more workspaces in a region.

  • Before NCCs, Azure customers allowlisted serverless SQL in their storage firewalls by copying subnet IDs straight out of the Azure Databricks documentation.
  • The stable IPs were not so stable - the Public Preview's legacy list was decommissioned, and anyone still allowlisting those copied IPs can expect serverless compute to hit 403 Forbidden.
  • A network object that also attaches to a data catalog - an NCC can be attached to a metastore to give OpenSharing SecureConnect private connectivity.

Limitations: An NCC is regional and attaches only to workspaces in its own region. Per account, up to 10 NCCs per region and up to 50 workspaces per NCC; private endpoints are capped per region across all NCCs (on AWS 30 for S3 and 100 for VPC resources; on Azure 100). These are fixed limits.
