Sneak Peak:
As soon as I finished my earlier post about the integration of the SAP Vora with the Azure HDInsight I started to wonder if it would be possible to reuse the Spark Extension with the Azure Databricks.

It offers a fully managed Spark clusters that can be created within seconds and automatically terminated when not used. It can even scale up and down depending on the current utilization. As all Azure services, the Databricks natively connects to other cloud platform services like the Data Lake storage or Azure Data Factory. A big differentiator comparing to HDInsight is a tight integration with Azure AD to manage users and permissions which increase the security of your landscape.
