Cluster Policies
Platform SecurityMedium Complexity📚 Medium
Control what compute resources users can create
Decision Guide
✓
When to Use
- →Cloud costs are unpredictable because users spin up oversized clusters
- →Need to enforce specific runtime versions for security or compatibility
- →Want to prevent users from disabling security features via Spark config
- →Self-service compute creation without admin bottleneck
- →Standardising cluster configurations across teams
✗
When NOT to Use
- →All users use serverless compute or SQL warehouses
- →Very small team (under 5) where everyone is an admin
