What you'll be able to do

01

Trace how a notebook actually runs in Databricks — workspace, cluster, notebook, jobs, repos, libraries and Unity Catalog

02

Tell the notebook you edit from the compute that runs it, and explain what happens when a cluster terminates

03

Explain what a lakehouse is, and how storage, tables and catalogs sit underneath the notebook you are looking at

04

Choose the right cluster — small vs. large, single node vs. autoscaling, job vs. all-purpose — and see how that choice changes cost

05

Explain why an idle all-purpose cluster is the most common source of unexpected Databricks spend
