DatabricksCLI for Windows

Overview of the CLI for Databricks

DatabricksCLI is a free command-line utility that simplifies managing Databricks workspaces and related resources. It provides direct terminal access to Databricks services, allowing developers and data scientists to perform routine operations without opening the web UI. The tool is designed to accelerate workflows by making common tasks scriptable and repeatable.

Main capabilities

• Cluster management — create, resize, start, stop, and inspect clusters from the command line.
• Workspace navigation — upload, download, and organize notebooks and files inside a Databricks workspace.
• Job control — submit, monitor, and cancel jobs as well as retrieve run results and logs.

Why teams use it

The CLI offers a concise interface for issuing commands, which reduces the need to navigate a graphical interface. Because commands can be combined into scripts, it suits automation-focused environments and continuous integration pipelines. This makes environment administration and routine maintenance faster and more consistent for teams that prefer text-driven tools.
