On May 2, 2023 Databricks announced that cluster-scoped init scripts stored on DBFS are deprecated. Cluster-scoped init scripts should be stored as workplace files.
You can prevent users from launching clusters using cluster-scoped init scripts stored on DBFS by setting a cluster policy.
Instructions
Warning
You must be a Databricks admin to apply cluster policies.
1. Follow the documentation to Create a cluster policy (AWS | Azure | GCP).
2. Add the following to the cluster policy:
"init_scripts.*.dbfs.destination": {
"type": "forbidden"
}3. Apply the policy to all users.
After the policy has been applied, users will no longer be able to create clusters that use init scripts loaded from DBFS.
